      @parentsmagazine This Sept 2014 piece is very dated. 0.5% complication rate? No, the most recent evidence, presented this year to the Societies of Pediatric Urology, is that the complication rate is more than 20x that: 11.5%. A Russian Roulette Rate. #i2 http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi …https://twitter.com/intactamerica/status/1028624047503028224 …

      Intact America @intactamerica
      Please weigh in with your comments following the online article. http://Parents.com  has a HUGE audience. While the author tries to be "neutral," the piece never mentions the growing protests from men who were cut without their consent. https://www.parents.com/baby/care/bath/should-your-son-be-circumcised/ …

      @parentsmagazine @intactamerica In 2017, the Belgian government's Committee for Bio-Ethics concluded, after a 3 year study, that newborn circumcision should NEVER be performed, except for cases of medical necessity.https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2017/09/belgian-federal-committee-rules-against-ritual-circumcision …

      @intactamerica This followed the 2016 conclusion of the Danish Medical Ass'n, that #circumcision of healthy boys is "ethically unacceptable." https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/denmarks-29000-doctors-declare-circumcision-of-healthy_us_58753ec1e4b08052400ee6b3 … When may readers of @parentsmagazine expect updated circumcision advice (that is less than 4 years old)? #i2

      But even in 2014, this @parentsmagazine article was inadequate & misleading. Under the guise of telling parents "[t]his is what doctors want you to know" about #circumcision, it blindly & uncritically regurgitates @AmerAcadPeds unethical 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. #i2

          on newborn #circumcision: "benefits outweigh the risks." But #AAP also said “the true incidence of complications after newborn circumcision is unknown.” How could they know the benefits outweighed them? @parentsmagazine Why didn't YOU ask that obvious question? #i2

          #i2 #meded @parentsmagazine When you're ready to do some actual journalism, maybe start with these 2017 articles by the leading bioethicist in this area who asks this & a lot of other questions for which @AmerAcadPeds has NO answer: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527603_Cultural_bias_in_American_medicine_the_case_of_infant_male_circumcision …https://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

          Perhaps then you'll understand why your exclusive reliance on @AmerAcadPeds to tell parents "This is what doctors want you to know" about #circumcision is so naive & inappropriate. #i2 #tweetiatrician #tweetiatricians #putkids1st #meded http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2013/03/12/peds.2012-2896.full.pdf …

          Or, as the president of Germany's pediatric society has said about @AmerAcadPeds 2012 #Circumcision position: "the statement from the AAP [has] been graded by almost all other pediatric societies and associations worldwide as being scientifically untenable." #i2

          When you say "This is what doctors want you to know about [#circumcision]," why do you ONLY present the views of the ONLY pediatricians whose position is a "scientifically untenable" & isolated view, contradicted by their own lack of knowledge of the risks? #i2

          It seems @parentsmagazine true agenda mirrors that of @AmerAcadPeds, & it's belied by the article's reader survey. They think they like #circumcision, not least b/c they (& probably most of your editors & writers) have done it to their own sons w/out thinking. #i2 #tweetiatrician

          Best to tell paying customers the lies they want to hear instead of the uncomfortable #truth: A newborn's #foreskin is just like all other child body parts. Adults can NEVER remove them for nontherapeutic reasons. @parentsmagazine #tweetiatrician #i2 @AmerAcadPeds @fathermag
