Sent the email; Watched the Video

What a morning. I sent the email to my friend. I'm waiting to hear back. We'll see.

I also watched the 14 min video on circumcision. I've watched shorter ones, and edited ones. This was the first time that I've made it all the way through the full length one. Part way through, tears were streaming down my face. Halfway through, my hands were clammy, and they started to shake. When the baby stopped crying, I was almost in shock myself. It felt like I was about to have a heart attack.

When my son was first hospitalized, we were there on a day when they were doing many circumcisions in the next room. One after another after another. I'll never forget the look in my son's eyes at the screaming. "They're torturing babies here, Mom! Am I going to be tortured too? What's going on with those babies?" It went on for ages; there were so many boys. I haven't felt this way since that day. There's no scream like that of a baby being circumcised. I'll never forget it.

All together now: STOP HURTING BABIES!!!!!!!!
