What's speculative is
@AmerAcadPeds asserting that the benefits of non therapeutic infant circumcision outweigh the risks, while at the same time admitting “the true incidence of complications after newborn circumcision is unknown."#i2#tweetiatricians http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2013/03/12/peds.2012-2896 …1 reply 3 retweets 5 likes -
Replying to @cooney21 @MassBayIntact and
Put another way, the problem is not that American parents are "idiots about medical decision making." The problem is that they are misled by their national organization of pediatricians and its illogical & unethical circumcision position.

If the gov't wanted to stop adults from circumcising themselves, I'd agree w/you. But no one wants that. The gov't already enforces a ban against every other type of non therapeutic amputation of a child's body. Why should the foreskin be treated differently?
