[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We fully vaccinate on time and my mom and dad are both doctors - I trust the medical establishment an awful lot, considering! I'm a lawyer, so I can't claim the family medical degree, but I absolutely am not anti-medicine. And we do not circumcise. And, please, lady above, get this through your head. I am not obsessed with your child's genitalia in any way.

You want to marginalize people who speak their minds about circumcision to be crazy, anti-medicine, or perverts, and you want to dumb down the issue to what's in your kid's diaper vs. minding one's own business. It's not so simple. If you've circumcised, fine. If you are thinking about it, I'd encourage you not to do it. It will hurt your baby and don't kid yourself otherwise, the medical benefits are extremely flimsy, and the cultural / religious aspect means nothing to me.

I believe it's harmful to kids, and that's why I care. It has nothing to do with caring about how your kids genitalia looks. It makes you feel better to think of it like it's as unreasonable as someone caring about how you comb your kids hair. Not so. We believe it's harmful, and that's why we care.

Some people upthread have said there will never be a ban on it. Honestly, that bums me out. I wish there would be. I can tell you that insurance companies will not pay for it for much longer. That's a step in the right direction. If you want to cut off part of your child's penis, you should have to pay for that yourself. My premiums shouldn't reflect cosmetic surgery on infant penises.
