Judge Strikes Down Circumcision Ban Proposal from San Francisco Ballot

Back in November 2010, we first posted about the proposed ballot measure to ban circumcision. At that time, anti-circumcision advocates were in the process of collecting the more than 7,100 signatures needed in order to get the circumcision ban on the ballot. Fast forward to May 2011 – and this controversial measure proposal officially received enough signatures to make it onto the November ballot. Now, there’s been a glitch. Last week, Judge Loretta M. Giorgi of Superior Court struck the proposal from the November ballot, saying that the ban violates California law that makes regulating medical procedures a function of the state, not cities.
