A proposition to ban circumcision for boys younger than 18 has, um, made the cut in San Francisco and will be put to the voters in November.

City election officials today certified that enough valid petition signatures were received to qualify the measure for the ballot, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

If it's approved, it would make it a misdemeanor "to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18," the San Francisco Examiner notes. There are no religious exemptions. Violators could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Advocates refer to themselves as "intactivists" and sport Star Wars-inspired buttons that read, "May the foreskin be with you."

The Chronicle sums up the pro-and-con thusly: "Supporters of a ban say it's a cruel, unnecessary practice akin to cutting off a baby's ear or nose. Opponents say the ban, even if passed by voters, would never hold up in court."

In addition to choosing a mayor, voters are likely to vote on pension changes for city workers.
