Message To Parents Who Circumcised

"And yet. . . The infant comes back to her somewhat changed, fretful, withdrawn.
One mother said to me, “His crying sounded different to me afterward.” He has been hurt; a violence has been done to him. Many a mother wonders a little, worries a little, then puts it out of her thoughts. After all, everyone else does it, all her friends.
And it was done for his sake, for his health, for his peace of mind later when he
undresses in that locker room.
And yet. . . Suppose it was done for no good reason? Suppose all that was accomplished was the painful mutilation of a helpless infant? The very suggestion is an
affront, an attack where the mother is most vulnerable."
