INTACT AMERICA: TELL DOCTORS TO PUT DOWN THE KNIFE! Every day, thousands of doctors across the country take newborn baby boys from their parents and subject them to a medically unnecessary, painful, life-altering surgery—circumcision. Parents place their trust in their children's doctors, and it's the doctors' responsibility to tell them: (1) no medical organization in the world recommends circumcision; (2) the foreskin is a normal, important body part; and (3) babies are people with rights, and no baby has consented to circumcision. Will you take two minutes to help us spread the word about this urgent effort to convince doctors to Put Down The Knife! and stop the needless, unethical cutting of America's baby boys? (And if you haven't yet sent your letter to the AAP, you can send it right now!) It's easy to do, just copy and paste the message below into an e-mail to your neighbors, parents, adult kids, co-workers, siblings, physicians (especially your pediatrician!), and friends: I'm writing to tell you about something important. Every day, thousands of doctors across the country take newborn baby boys from their parents and subject them to a medically unnecessary, painful, life-altering surgery -- circumcision. This needs to stop. Even though the newborn circumcision rate in this country is down to just 33%, because parents are better informed than ever, nearly a million babies every year suffer at the hands of doctors who are misinforming their parents, and removing an important, functional body part from their young patients without their consent. I've just sent a letter to the leaders of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), demanding that their members stand by the oath they took to "Do no harm." They must start telling America's parents the truth: circumcision is harmful, unnecessary, and ethically wrong. INTACT AMERICA
