==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,<ref>https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/Template:REFweb</ref> apparently to promote the business of circumcision for its members' increased [[Financial incentive| profit]].<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://watermark.silverchair.com/peds_2012-1989.pdf?token=AQECAHi208BE49Ooan9kkhW_Ercy7Dm3ZL_9Cf3qfKAc485ysgAAAyowggMmBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagggMXMIIDEwIBADCCAwwGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM5ZqykwisrwRDxcdmAgEQgIIC3TiLAbfmX-rhH801T1Wcjlepwd5iVkfvFhjMAGrGkQIsCgBpkZj43pLulK6DkK_GSGtJBEdskUAIjgZWnefWDvRHpXi0h94UUhZ9Xv7X5DNB_BYokFgCOvJUWgTaxpQyfVNDK1veF0gTt_Q_NVshKiLxEAdhw0n9bZ0V4n498fP9rfCjhgeq9rOsyeTBs_c5qcPz8vY118Po3m6Jyn79aDhbKvilDgZWUDM8uE3aFVxadB6fc06exyDQ2rtq_AeUQC-fgs-UejsOpzNrmZkAIQE32c38OvrZbncIIE107MgP8aNKEPIz-AjJABlfecLzn7PXip8ezjCy_skRx49H_DAVmRFoz5IJsRH9BH3y6pGo_z6XEvZOlWDGs7JnJzQnFcqbb7lFldAavZv7N-YdApYgl0IHvIVhS4lFQG-yw5dWORtY29yk7d8_X3h76TlEyFaVGGT8GJ3STSH0V3Fp74kCbHocF9WuNUfZXpk5zoyg_mYzH8iWhcVaqeS-6NowOsx5dE5e0rBNmxgpcD46yldNzkxCc56MLu4hFG-kxog_j1qrdJpaMGkMWCZKlo6mW2yYcz62jr8cNQQJP2QT-XpjeInOzxPisBHGdAKkcw9lswfgdq1zzVmmZVp4v3IWlxNiz-iGAw2nn-mdcyksYIzJSbGyCOl3Bu7-fbESI69wGKiuhi1bTmACZBqB8ut3ARDOEkEP-kDdRJbioquPnODKRcOt_j-a46Q7vIOByWGReyXVRTQxjR8pwiI5D1L-3xiqkwvTVs7-lZ7p3YSKbXD4fYorwDQ_aQ35RhAiYHhhpat2AFxQmKYuPznFPwzk6zkhu4sNgsNfU8GlTBKIOyYPvyeIzLEohXoI_kcSMa42aJzLRTwQduJUDqtgkM54q4jd6_I1-ztLfuFZWd6PvqEfdNgGaad9UItcAKnedRvzBnngy6C2xP-P5Pu3y2Ri3Ohv1cOyCTVB54u5nQU |title=Circumcision Policy Statement |last=-Circumcision Task Force |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher=AAP |date=2012-09-01 |format=PDF |accessdate=2024-11-16}}</ref>
