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.
