Renton wants to take away choice, shift health decisions from patient to parents, doctors, third parties; also hates NORM-UK

This just in from NORM-UK (edited slightly by me):

Another week, another article from circumcision evangelist Alex Renton attacking NORM-UK, this time in the Daily Mail.

But these are raising [NORM-UK's] profile and exposing a core of support in the British public - enquiries and website hits are up sharply.

[Mr. Renton's latest hysterical outburst:]

[Letters in response to the Observer article (see my post below on the latter):]

...

Mr. Renton defends his own forced circumcision openly, perhaps providing a motive behind his histrionics on the issue. I know it's made me crazy on occasion - but in favor of human rights principles. Mr. Renton, on the other hand, goes in the other direction, failing to discuss consent, contrary indications, and asserting the truly bizarre, claims of a secret fear among UK doctors for refusing to come out full force for infant circumcision and against consent and choice.

The sense in his articles is one of the proverbial scenario of panic when a nut stands and yells "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
