The Oregon Supreme Court will test the bounds of religious rights for a custodial parent in November when it considers the right of a father to have his 12-year-old son circumcised over the noncustodial mother's objection.

Both the American Jewish Congress and Doctors Opposing Circumcision have filed amicus briefs.
