Would be interesting to see it broken down by race or ethnicity

Yeah, something else that has caused rates to decline is that it’s genital mutilation. It’s also immoral to remove a part of person’s body before they’re able to consent.

Call it what it actually is. Male genital mutilation. The rate of parents inflicting this on their children needs to go back down to 0%.

Male Genital Mutilation should be punished the same way FGM is

You guys can whine and complain about mutilation but it looks way fucking better

Personally i am glad i had it done as a baby. No idea why people would not want a more hygienic dick.

I can’t believe circumcisions are still a thing. It seems such a bizarre thing to do.
We had a baby boy recently, not once did we even remotely consider it. Though then again, circumcision is virtually unheard of here,so you are obviously influenced by the culture around you.

Born in ’82 – Still have my original casing. Apparently I’m in an elite club.

Good to see! It can have some health benefits, but this is really something that should be left up to individuals themselves to decide.
Interesting….I like my clean mushroom 🍄 head and wouldn’t have it any other way tbh
How can it be more than 50% considering about half of babies are girls?
Medicaid policy shifts – does that mean Medicaid stopped covering it?
That “cut rates nearly in half” is a bit on the nose.
I’m going to venture that Americans figuring out it’s something only Muslims and Jews do in the rest of the world has helped bring the numbers down.

Coincidence?
