the requirement for Jews to be circumcised.
At 8 days old, so it says.
It's easy for you to say that's fairy tale bullshit or whatever... question is, what happens if a government of a liberal democracy says it.

no religion should be inflicted on anyone unable to make a choice for themselves
simple as that.
A government should protect its citizens from cults, scams, fraudsters and religions, especially when they intend to inflict physical alteration to them, until an age when they can make the choice for themselves.

you are trolling now for sure
Abortion is entirely down to the circumstance of the woman involved and certainly not a fucking church.

does the government not have the duty to protect it?

Sentience doesn't have anything to do with the legal limit on abortion,
it would be nice if it did but what we've got has more to do with some concept of "viability" as far as I know. But supposing we take that cut-off point.
Would it be ok to circumcise a foetus, if it were possible, before the same time limit?
