Ban Infant Circumcision
Ban Infant Circumcision
The Issue
In 1997 female circumcision was banned. It was found to be immoral. The law should include all children. Circumcision is harmful and every day hundreds of boys are put through this unnecessary torture. However, this is only part of the problem. Circumcision is the only surgery where amputation is performed before treatment, for a problem that doesnt exist yet. Doctors fail to properly and completely inform parents on the procedure. Parents should know the ins and outs of circumcision. They should be made to watch a video of the procedure before making their choice. Properly informed, many parents will not circumcise their sons and the movement to outlaw this barbaric practice will grow.
Many deaths happen yearly from complications. They do exist and here is a link that provides a list with what each complication is. Over 117 babies die yearly. http://newborns.stanford.edu/CircComplications.html
Foreskin. Each gender has it. The foreskin adds more to the penis than just increased sexual functioning and pleasure. It keeps your baby’s penis safe, warm, clean, and moist. It allows the baby’s glans (head) to complete its development normally. The glans is meant to be an internal organ, covered and protected from the outside world.
No attempt should be made to retract the foreskin before the penis has fully developed. Premature retraction causes the glans to become dry, hard, and scarred. The foreskin protects the glans from injury simply by covering it. The first person to retract the foreskin and expose the glans should be the child himself, and only when the child is ready to do so. It is best that parents avoid concerning themselves with this natural process. All by themselves, little boys will make the discovery that their foreskin can be retracted.
To care for the foreskin is simple. It takes only a few more seconds in the shower or bath to clean. For a child that cant retract yet, pull the foreskin OUT, do not retract, if you absolutly have to clean it thoughly. Otherwise leave it alone. Wash any crumbs, dirt, or other dirtiness off. This is the best form of washing until it can be retracted on its own (usually around puberty). By the time it retracts on it's own the owner of the penis should be able to clean himself efficiently. This is simpler than caring for a cut baby and uses half the time.
The foreskin doesnt get disposed of in a medical waste facility. Hospitals actually sell it.

And those are just a few of many. The family of the sold foreskin doesnt see any of the money gained from it. This is just part of the large monetary gain hospitals and doctors see from circumcision.
Please, if you haven't yet, watch the video. Have a heart. Save our nations sons.
