ACOG is a nonprofit organization of women's health care physicians advocating highest standards of practice, continuing member education and public awareness of women's health care issues. Members of ACOG are specialists in women's bodies ("Our Specialty is Women’s Health") (see: Official website).
In September 2012, ACOG has updated his its FAQ on the topic ''Newborn Circumcision''.<ref>http://www.acog.org/Patients/FAQs/Newborn-Circumcision</ref> Thereon ACOG repeats the (now disproved) allegations of the [[WHO]] and the [[AAP]], [[circumcision]] would have mor advantages than disadvantages and would protect against various diseases.
Members of ACOG perform more male circumcisions in the US than either pediatricians or family doctors.<ref>{{REFjournal
