#SavingChase - follow up on Judge keep your hands off my penis

In May we shared that a Florida judge had ruled that a mother must submit her 3 and 1/2 year old son to circumcision as required by the father, in spite of the mother’s fear of the risk of death related to general anesthesia, and in spite of admitting that the procedure is not medically necessary.

Back then the mother filed an appeal. Last Thursday, November 6th, the Court of Appeals denied her motion. Chase, now 4 years old, is now running out of time, but the mother continues fighting and the case might have to go all the way to the Supreme Court to protect the physical integrity of her son and his right to bodily integrity and genital autonomy.
