I didn't ignore it. I clicked it. I saw it was the AAP and I already know their stance. I posted it just yesterday along with the stances of pediatrics groups around the world.
I know they're skerred to take away muh freedoms to treat my child like shit. It's why spanking isn't illegal as well. It doesn't change the facts. The facts that even they do not recommend it as it has no significant benefits. Do they outweigh the risks? Probably but having a low risk doesn't make something more moral.
All I know is this: not circumcising can lead to numerous health risks over the course of the boy's life, and circumcising will change the way he jerks off. Benefits outweighing risks is the reason anybody ever does anything. There are so many decisions new parents have to make while raising a child. If the upside is the prevention of numerous health risks and a decrease in likelihood of catching certain infections and diseases, and the downside is changing the way he jerks off.... I certainly don't blame anyone for choosing to circumcise.
