There are good health reason to circumcise. It’s something that should be left to the parents assuming they are informed of the pros and cons prior to making a choice. I’m against governments legislating away parents rights to direct medical care for their children unless their choices endanger the life of their child. Circumcision doesn’t do that in any way.
It's amazing that so many Americans are concerned about "the rights of the unborn", yet don't give a fiddler's fluff about the born, and support the mutilation of the recent born.

I’m pro choice when it comes to abortion and circumcision. Good thing that’s the law of the land in the US and unlikely to change despite a few men mourning their foreskins. They’ll have a lot to talk about with their parents and therapists.
Ninety percent of American males weren't circumcised until a wacko who made Corn Flakes started spouting off that it helped boys not play with themselves.
that's kind of how i see it. i decided my son can make up his own mind about it when it's time - even though i didn't have such a choice and am personally OK with the outcome.
oddly enough, as i understand it, insurance will pay for it when he's born but not when he's, say, 12 years old.
Cut 'em while they're too young for the victim to complain to the insurance company or bring a charge of battery against the OB-GYN.
Newborn circumcision has been a cash cow for American OB-GYNs for a century or more.

do you really think a baby who is a few days old really know or cares about what you call mutilation of his penis when this is not mutilation at all. It is taking a very small amount of foreskin off to help with keeping it clean if nothing else.
The article said "Circumcising girls has been illegal in Iceland since 2005, but there are currently no laws to regulate the practice against boys." So, if we apply an SJW liberal feminist nagging mother-in-law's logic, we could argue that is sexism against boys (read: misandry?).

And yet males have lived for time immemorial without having it done.
“Every individual, it doesn’t matter what sex or how old… should be able to give informed consent for a procedure that is unnecessary, irreversible and can be harmful. His body, his choice.”
As an aside, less than 20% of males in Europe are circumcised. It is rare in non- Muslim population in India and almost non- existent in China.
It is predominately a Jewish, Muslim and US custom. The parent’s of the US baby-boom were the first US majority generation to embrace circumcision of their male offspring.
