Bullshit, this isn't about what your son wants. This is about what you want.

The same way you can read your child's mind of course.

I never claimed to. Like all moms, I'll do what I think and hope will be best for him/her in the long run. Contrary to your accusation, for his/her good, not my own.

I personally have never been with a man that wasn't circumcised and I think I would be more than a little put off being with one that wasn't. I'm not saying I couldn't be but it would take serious getting used to and I'm not sure I could do oral until I did get used to it.
My fiancé said he is very happy his parents got him circumcised and said he wants our sons to be. I have no preference so I will let him make the decision.

Unfortunately, parents don't always have the most clear-minded view of what is best for their children. 
Good luck either way ...

You realize that the foreskin moves right? If you want to give a blowjob to an uncircumcised guy, you can pull the foreskin back, and you'll get a penis that looks circumcised.
The advantage is giving handjobs becomes easier and feels better for the guy.
As for guys who say they feel glad or happy that their parents got them circumcised, I personally find it hard to believe they can form an educated opinion on the matter, given that they have never experienced being uncircumcised. Its easy for an uncircumcised guy to see what being circumcised is like (pull back the foreskin and keep it like that), but you can't replace what has already been cut off.
Its a bit like a blind from birth person saying they aren't missing anything by being blind. Sure, they don't think they are, but they don't know any better.

No.
Sure, there are some health benefits....But not enough to warrant hacking off a piece of a kid's junk, in my view.

Regarding "health benefits", nothing so significant that it warrants circumcision over not circumcising. And the only reason we read of these so-called "health benefits" is because money unfortunately can play a big role in determining what gets published in journal articles.

Let's be clear again on this one very important thing:
It isn't about your preferences, or even your partner's preferences. This is about whether it is right to to cut off a valuable piece of skin off a child's penis without his consent.

There's literally no health benefits. You could argue that it is more hygienic but even then I wouldn't say so. It's not hard for a guy to pull his foreskin back and wash it.
Circumcised guys lose a lot of sensation down there. I don't see any benefit to it whatsoever, unless the kid was born with an extremely tight foreskin and it became a medical nessecity or something along those lines.
To hack off part of your kids junk without their permission is just child abuse and should be treated as such.
