If this is the case, journalists and media who reference the @AmerAcadPeds circumcision policy statement are being inaccurate. Currently, the AAP has no policy on circumcision.pic.twitter.com/7rVWOrhEtC
Here's the thing, if they never release another statement it doesn't matter, the damage is done, and people will keep quoting the 2012 as if it's valid for another decade or two...
Brendon, your question is for @AAPPres, but I doubt he'll deign to answer. The AAP needs to "retire" & apologize for its 2012 #circumcision policy statement.

Here's what the AAP's "Committee on Bioethics," led by @ddiekema1, had to say about Type IV #FGM in 2010: "the ritual nick suggested by some pediatricians is not physically harmful [incorrect] and is much less extensive than routine newborn male genital cutting [correct]."
