Why the quotes? Mr. Insanity, are you implying that Chad is not, in fact, A PERSON?!?!

I would say most do not. Most circumcisions are done in hospitals, by either pediatricians or OB/GYNs, and many pediatricians in the office setting don’t perform them. But to your point, there are a lot of circumcisions happening. I would direct your efforts elsewhere though...

First, educate parents that it is not a medically-necessary procedure. But perhaps with a more subtle approach, which can turn off some potential members of your audience. And also, advocate for changes in laws. Because while it’s legal, parents are going to request it.

(Sorry, I meant that too extreme an approach can be less effective.) Many parents are convinced this is a necessary procedure, for a variety of reasons. And many will pay cash if it isn’t covered, even if they aren’t particularly well-off. If you truly want change, start there.

Educating parents is important, but I suspect that if American physicians organizations published policies that advocated leaving children genitally intact then circumcision rates would fall dramatically and quickly. #i2

From many data points I've heard that while in a hospital mothers are often asked multiple times if they want a circumcision done, after previous answers were "No". Imagine the results if there was no solicitation. #i2

I've spent fair amount of time in hospitals and can tell you that--at least there--even when parents are informed that there are essentially no medical benefits and that the procedure has risks, the vast majority of them still choose to go through with the procedure.
