The AAP's difficulties with a child circumcision policy are largely of its own doing. The AAP ~~puts~~ 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~~ its numerous circumcision policy statements. Medical societies outside of the United States are in near total disagreement with the AAP and its allies with regard to non-therapeutic child circumcision.
