The big news this week is that some in Colorado are seeking to restore Medicaid funding of male infant circumcision.

But some want the government to start paying for elective surgery for baby boys, but not adults.

This week ends on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, my time has been limited this week. It appears I am not alone in having a lot going on this week. There are fewer intactivist posts to report.
