The AAP's difficulties with a child circumcision policy are largely of its own doing. The AAP puts continues to put its members' financial well-being ahead of the [[human rights]] and well-being of its child patients, which it does by omission of significant information and distortion of the medical facts from in its numerous circumcision policy statements. Medical societies outside of the United States are in near total disagreement with the AAP and its American allies with regard to non-therapeutic child circumcision.
Although the AAP speaks very highly of non-therapeutic circumcision, a close reading indicates that it has never made an actual overt recommendation for circumcision, probably because their its lawyers forbid it. Even so, a suit has been filed against the AAP that alleges fraud in its circumcision statements.
