Genital Integrity for ALL!!

This is one of the topics with which I am very passionate about. I learned the truth about circumcision too late for my oldest son, and regret allowing it to happen to him every day of my life. I even started an online support group for mothers who found out the truth too late for at least one of their sons, called "Regretful Moms". It was a devastating day for me, the day that I faced the truth and realized what horror I had allowed to happen to my son just days after he was born.

After learning the truth, I became a loud voice against RIC (Routine Infant Circumcision). I wanted to keep other mothers from making the same mistake I did, and living to regret it. Every year one of the greatest voices against circumcision, David of sic society, leads the way to the DC protest. I haven't been able to make it to the protests yet, though I have tried a few times. this year, the protest is coming up next weekend. Make plans to go if you can!

So, you might say you have all these good reasons to circumcise your son. What you really mean is that you just haven't educated yourself on the truth of circumcision. I could go through the myths and truths of infant circumcision, but there are so many other sites that have done so, and done so well too! I encourage *anyone* who is having a boy to research research research before you blindly follow the herd!! Know that right now, in the United States, only 50% of all boys are circumcised. Our children's generation will see both intact and cut penises and those boys who do not have a foreskin will have some hard questions for their parents one day! Here are some great sites on what circumcision is and does.

An educational video on the prepuce I think everyone should watch this in order to truly understand what the prepuce is. warning, graphic.

*NO ONE* should agree to have their son circumcised without watching a video of a circumcision! This video is what changed my husband's mind, and is a powerful tool if you and your husband disagree on the issue of circumcision! This video is graphic, and I cannot watch it without crying.

some of my favorite sites:

Mothers Against Circumcision

Circumcision Information and Resource Pages

NOCIRC

Catholics Against Circumcision

Jews Against Circumcision

NOHARMM

Christianity and Circumcision:

Circumcision for Christians?

The Bible and Circumcision

Christians and Circumcision

Acts15

I will probably edit this post later, I'm running late, so look for more in a bit!
