Revision as of 23:36, 16 November 2024

Intact America has introduced a petition to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) which calls for the AAP to stop the pain of circumcision by telling its many members to stop performing the still common medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcision of newborn boys.[1]

The petition is located on the change.org website.[2]

Background

The AAP published its last circumcision policy statement on 1 September 2012. It was designed to promote the circumcision industry from which many pediatricians, obstetricians, and family doctors derive substantial income. The statement was egregiously inaccurate and biased, so it received huge amounts of criticism. It was a total embarrassment to a professional organization so it was allowed to expire without being affirmed after 5 years (31 August 2017). In spite of its expired status and admittedly misleading information, the AAP continues to maintain the statement on its website,[3] apparently to promote the business of circumcision for its members' increased profit.[4]
