However, we do have a significant problem with infant male circumcision. At one point, more than 90% of infant males were circumcised here. As recently as 6 years ago, 65% of infant males were circumcised. However, by 2009, that rate had dropped to 32..5%. This has been the result of a large contingency of citizens and their work. The medical profession and the Federal government have offered no help at all.

A small group of “intactivists” have managed to get the procedure removed from the government sponsored health scheme, Medicaid in 18 states. In each of those states, the rate has fallen almost instantly by 20% or more. We’ve still got a long way to go but we can see the end at the horizon. Most Europeans aren’t aware of this bit of dirty laundry but are becoming more aware of it. We can use all the help we can get from “across the pond.” You are certainly helping. Thank You!
