@AmerMedicalAssn @AmerAcadPeds @AmAcadPeds What’s the deal? Is this what “informed consent” even looks like? #i2https://twitter.com/VampyricLuna/status/1129521818052812800 …

Did you take your son away unharmed?

Yes, but I think less determined parents might have wilted in the face of the full court press to cut that we got. The incident was the beginning of my loss of respect for US MDs.

We got him out intact in the end, but it never should have been so difficult, & our son's right to an intact body never should have been shown such disrespect. The fact is, most US medical "professionals" think circumcision is a parental "choice" only if the "choice" is to cut.

Dead right. The AAP's technical report to its 2012 policy says (p763) "There is fair evidence that there are financial barriers to the circumcision decision in the United States" which can only mean the decision to cut.
