MSNBC has an article about the controversy surrounding circ this morning and it comes with a poll! I was the first vote! Exciting to see that 100% against, until I realized it was only little ol' me.

[A&A]

It's 57% NO now.


This quote from the article really scares me, though:

"However, recent studies have prompted the group (the AAP) to review its policy on circumcision, with a decision expected within the next several months on whether changes need to be made."

And listen to the crap spewed by the AAP prez:

"These studies are just the latest to point to circumcision’s potential health benefits, says AAP president Dr. Jay E. Berkelhamer.
“There have probably been hundreds over the years showing that circumcised males have lower rates of urinary tract infections, penile cancer and a variety of STDs, including HIV,” says Berkelhamer."

Yeah, I saw that, too. That could suck, especially given the bolded part.
