SAN FRANCISCO — A Superior Court judge said Wednesday that she intends to strike a ban on male circumcision from the city’s November ballot.
Judge Loretta Giorgi said in a tentative ruling that the proposed law prohibiting circumcision of male children violates a California law that makes regulating medical procedures a function of the state, not cities.
Backers had argued the ban was necessary to prevent a form of genital mutilation from being forced on children.
