'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''', APRN, LCCE, R.N{{RN}}, M.S.{{MS}}, Ph.D.{{PhD}}, is an author and founder and the owner of [[Evidence Based Birth]]®.
Dr. Dekker is the lead author of a massive, monumental review of the evidence regarding non-therapeutic infant [[circumcision]]. Her numerous citations are found awkwardly located in a separate box. Most have links to the abstract or text.
Dekker attempted to maintain a posture of neutrality, which apparently led her to include numerous biased works by discredited [[Brian J. Morris]] and his [[Brian J. Morris/Co-authors| coauthors]]. Her otherwise fine work is marred by the presence of so much [[bias]]. She omitted discussion of the psychic and sexual [[trauma]] of [[circumcision]] and seems unaware that the cited 2012 AAP Circumcision Policy Statement had expired in 2017.
Her Amazon biography states:
<blockquote>
Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, is the founder and CEO of Evidence Based Birth®. After earning her Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD in Nursing, Rebecca embarked on a career as a nurse scientist and professor. In 2016, she left academia to become a full-time entrepreneur and consumer advocate for evidence based care. Rebecca lives in Lexington, Kentucky, where she and her husband Dan are raising three children and an assortment of pets. ''<q>Babies Are Not Pizzas'' is her first book.
