by Tally on January 9, 2010 Bookmark and Share

NoCirc.org: Genital Autonomy 'International Child' symbol  See GenitalAutonomy.orgSay no to circumcision - support intactivism. This is a list of blogs, articles, and websites of interest to Intactivists that were published in the past week. This is a running tally of the ones I found interesting. The week was dominated by the reaction to Dr. Amy Tuteur's very opinionated pro-circumcision blog.
