RIC is an acronym for Routine Infant Circumcision.

Mainly in the United States, boys are still circumcised in many hospitals immediately after birth. Very often, this is done without informing or asking the parents previously at all.

Routine infant circumcision (i. e. non-therapeutic circumcision without consent) is an unlawful procedure for which damages may be recovered.[1]
