DY, for some people its anti-semitic.

But realistically, if 50% of the US is circumcising, that means MOST people aren’t Orthodox Jews who would circumcise no matter what. So what of the other people who circumcise?

Health, I don’t get all my information from anti-circumcision websites. However, I have yet to see really balanced information from either side.

What I want to know is what parent here would want their child to go through an uneccesary medical procedure that, while having small benefits, has uneccesary risks associate with it as well? I’m not talking from a “Hashem commanded us to perform a bris” aspect. Obviously we all are going to continue. But why would non-Jews?

Anyway, I’ve said my piece. Just understand that there are many people who are MEDICALLY opposed to routine circumcision.
