      Can someone please explain the difference between female genital mutilation and circumcision? Because it sure seems like in both cases baby genitals are being mutilated. Yet one is illegal and condemned, but the other is legal and expected. 🤷‍♂️

      We kept our son whole, in spite of pressure from many. My wife's OB tried to pressure us to circumcize until I asked her about medical consequences. She could not give an any compelling reason. She retired right after he was born and I've since found she was deeply religious.

      Yeah.. it's kinda crazy both of my boys were not circumcised and during the most recent one at the hospital they asked us 7 separate times if we would like to get it done, really it would be great if people would stop trying to get me to perform their archaic religious practices

      When our first son was born, my wife & I were emphatic he would not be cut. We told everyone, from her OB on down. What did they do? Scheduled him to be circumcised the day after he was born - totally w/out parental approval. And when I tried to get him off the schedule...

          I was told by an officious nurse, "Only a doctor can do that." Fortunately we got it straightened out, & our son escaped the American #Circumcision dragnet unscathed, but it should not have been that difficult. #i2 #HisBodyHisChoice #AAP19 #consent @AmerAcadPeds @AAPPres #MedEd

          So sorry your family had to go through that trauma, Bill. We were fortunate and the pressure stopped when it was clear we were not going to change our minds. His pediatrician mentioned it one more time when she saw him the first time, but was very informative & accepted our wish.
