People Most Likely to Support Cause

Draft Paragraph: My intent is to approach my argument by discrediting religions' traditionally enforcement of circumcision. As such, the audience most likely to respond to my cause will be that of parents, perhaps moreso of the religious nature. I also intend to target government officials by pointing out that the factors that were once used to support circumcision (religious factors) are no longer ethically viable in today's society.
