Henrik Nord in Copenhagen Citizens' Representation (Radical Left): Believes that the right to circumcision must be preserved.

Alex Vanopglagh (Liberal Alliance): Is divided on the issue, but does not believe that circumcision of healthy boys is any major abuse.

Finn Rudaizky (Danish People's Party): Will maintain the right to male circumcision and emphasizes that the Danish People's Party will not propose an age limit.

Sisse Marie Welling (Socialist People's Party): Believes that people should decide for themselves (here I think the parents are meant) and is against an age limit for male circumcision.

Frank Jensen (Social Democracy): Has actively fought against legislation against halal slaughter and schächtning and is of course also against an age limit for circumcision of healthy boys.

Cecilia Lonning-Skovgaard (Left): There is no wavering here. Strongly opposes an 18-year age limit for circumcision of healthy boys.

Ninna Hedeager Olsen (Enhedslisten): Believes that both circumcision and circumcision are a right.

Jakob Næsager (Conservative): Pointed out that Conservatives are in favor of both schächtning and circumcision.
