Circumcision Rates Continue to Drop

  • Jul. 21st, 2008 at 11:51 AM
The most common cosmetic surgery in America continues to decline.  Down from close to 85% in the 60's, only 56% of Southerners - the same as the national rate - are circumcising their baby boys.  By the time our boys are grown, the numbers will be low enough (perhaps rivaling Europe, where only Jews & Muslims circumcise, same as America 150 years ago) that those circumcised young men will be asking some difficult questions of their parents.

I just ask, please do your research thoroughly.  :)  The AAP is against routine infant circumcision.  The Catholic Church banned it explicitly for centuries and its principles continue the implicit ban* today.  If there is no medical & no religious indication for routine infant circumcision, what reason remains?

As a final thought, the Jewish circumcision of Jesus' time was nothing like the modern medical procedure - only the tip was removed.

There are many kinds of success in life worth having. It's exceedingly interesting and attractive to be ...a President, or a ranchman, or the colonel of a fighting regiment, or kill grizzly bears and lions. But... a household of children... certainly makes all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
