Circumcision & the American Association of Pediatrics

Recently, the American Association of Pediatrics has released a new opinion on the position on circumcision.  Many of us who have read it do not agree with this position that seems to favor male infant circumcision.  Much of it appears to be related to hygiene and comparisons with Africa.  Better comparisons would have been made to Europe where circumcision is much less often performed than in the USA.
