I will assume they are projecting themselves onto the child and then rationalising after the fact. I don't consider "I like how my dick looks" to be adequate justification for surgically altering someone else's dick without their consent.
Not that they are accountable to me personally of course. I'm just saying how I would evaluate a parenting decision.
Rob, what you have to understand is that a circumcised penis is the norm in America. You don't want your child to be the kid with the weird dick in the locker room or cause any type of awkward sexual situations for them down the road. So for parents in America its not as easy as saying well he can do it when he's an adult, there are things parents are considering beyond religion or medical reasons.
