Write a informative blog post about the case against circumcision?

It's just for my little 'family blog' but I'd like to to be accurate and concise. Friends and family around me almost always circumcise and don't fully understand why we refuse to. DH and his family do not practice circumcision (thankfully), but my side of the family does and most of our friends do.

I'm going to have my third boy this coming Fall and once again I am absolutely NOT going to circumcise!

Feel free to post links, or direct me to web-pages or write your own thoughts out.. I'm very interested in how to help these things come across properly.

Thanks,
~Rae~

ETA: Some things I'd like to include would be explaining away the myths of circs, aka the excuses people use against leaving their children intact.

Did you need any more information? If so, just ask because I am sure someone else will come along if you do.

Yea I was hoping for more over-all information, hopefully that wasn't to abusive (aka slamming people who have circumcised) but informative. If that makes sense.
