“	There’s enough medical evidence to suggest we shouldn’t have been neutral before. Now, we’re clearly stating that third-party payers and Medicaid should cover circumcision so that parents aren’t having the decision made for them. – Michael Brady (The Daily Beast)

“	Even if we weren’t going to routinely recommend circumcision, we could tell parents the risks and benefits and be confident that we weren’t subjecting their child to a lifelong change he would be uncomfortable with. – Michael Brady (The Daily Beast)
