A friend of mine is pregnant with a boy. I had sent her some information and links, but was not sure of the outcome. She came to my house the other day to pick up some baby stuff I was donating, and we talk about circumcision.
She told me she was not going to circumcise!!! She showed the links to her dh and they could not believe how the procedure was done.
As she was leaving, I gave her some more circ info along with the NOCIRC newsletter. The front page discussed female circumcision and she freaked out. She did not think anybody did this anymore. So I told her that the rest of the world thinks we are barbarians. Why is it different? We circ our little boys for the same reasons little girls are cir in other parts of the world.
Her eyes got wide and I could see the full impact of what circumcision really is. She finally thought outside the box.
Well, for the bad news. My dh co-worker had their baby and they circ. Not only that, but he was circ in a teaching hospital. I suspect he was probably circ by a OB resident.
Guess what, the little guy has a fever now and my dh called me to get advice. I wanted to tell him to tell the father that thanks to the wonderful way he welcomed his baby into the world, he probably has develped an infection.
I gave them advice, but I felt so bad for this baby.
