What do I say - friend who circ'd now expecting boy #2

[moaningminny]

A close friend of mine had her ultrasound today that revealed she's having another boy. She circumcised her first, telling me "I know how you feel about it but we got him fixed. . I'm not sure I would do it again".

I'm kind of hoping she'll bring it up and then I can jump on it by letting her know that I have a lot of information for her. I have a strong suspicion though that they'll end up doing it again because they'll want their sons to "look the same". Her husband is also very ummm...stubborn...meaning that I could imagine him telling her that it was going to be done and her not fighting it.

How do I deal with this? I want to say something, but I'm a feeling a little unsure about how to approach it - if at all.

I'll think about it a bit. But I hate that line, "Got him fixed." He wasn't broken.

Pm me with your email address and I can send you a document that you can give her.

I think I might say something like, "remember when you told me about your dcs circ, you said you might not do it again?" and go from there. You could remind her that this child isn't broken, that a foreskin is not a birth defect.
