Genital mutilation of infants for non-medical reasons is about as abusive as you can get. "They're too young to remember" is no excuse. By that logic, you could justify a parent physically or sexually abusing a child because "They won't remember." Except circumcision is worse than those, because circumcision is permanent damage to the child's body.
I get that it's promoted in the US, and that's for the exact same reason that women are made to stay in hospital for several days after giving birth over there: Money. The benefits of circumcision are too small to be justified. Ever noticed that the rest of the civilised world don't routinely circumcise their kids, yet these penile infections that would apparently be rampant in the US if people didn't mess about with their children's dicks are still pretty rare?
