Should you circumcise your newborn baby?

Circumcision Yes or No?

Wow what a subject. Since I found out my daughter was having a boy we have talked about this and I find that most people are not educated about the process. This is the era of the Internet, type circumcision in any search engine, google it, read a book. I actually found a book at the midwives office and it scared the heck out of me. My son’s were not circumcised as one was born in England and they do not do it there unless it is requested and the same here in Canada for my other son. You have to pay $300.00 privately in Canada. OHIP does not cover it, as it is listed as an operation that is an option.

Here are the arguments:

1. the old locker room story, but I do not want my boy to stand out. If your son had a bigger penis then other boys or a smaller one they would stand out and there is nothing you can do about that. to me this is a lame argument
2. it will cause a disease in women. This has been proven to be wrong! Education is key, and cleanliness.
3. It is harder to clean an uncircumcised baby’s penis. It is actually harder to clean a women’s genital area then a boys.
4. My husband is circumcised and I do not want them to look different. So you are going to put your newborn baby through the pain and suffering so he looks like his Dad?

Times are changing, and we have more information at hand. Do not do it because your relatives did, that is not a good enough excuse. Watch a video on how they do this operation, google the term and see for yourself. There are a lot of people in the Jewish faith that have started a webpage against circumcision. Jews against circumcision, JAC for short. So the argument for religious reasons is being challenged here

Check out this website, they even talk about women being forced to be circumcised
