I remember walking through the grocery store one day while I was pregnant, and a woman came up to me and asked whether I was having a boy or a girl. When I told her I was having a boy, her first question was whether I was going to have him circumcised. Then she told me the story of her son's circumcision. I just wanted to buy bread.
Like
most parenting issues, circumcision debate is both personal and
polarized. Some parents in the circumcision camp argue that
non-cicumcisors (I made that word up) are just setting their kids up
for a lifetime of infections and ridicule, while some in the no-snip
camp consider circumcisors baby mutilators. The rest of us don’t really
care what choices other families make, as long as they are the right ones for
them.
It’s
a tough decision that every family must make on its own. My goal here
is to provide information about circumcision, not to tell anyone that
they are wrong. As long as you love your babies and treat them well, I
really don’t care whether they have foreskin. Let’s break it down by
argument.
