Family physicians is one of three medical specialties who substantially profit from carrying out medically-uncessary, non therapeutic child circumcisions, so it should be no surprise that they promote non-therapeutic child circumcision with a very positive policy statement. The AAFP joined with the ACOG and the AAP in 2008 to produce a pro-circumcision policy statement that would promote circumcision and third-party payment for non-therapeutic circumcision. The statement was finally published by the AAP in 2012, but it expired in 2017 and has not been reaffirmed.
