Ban routine infant circumcision (RIC) in the United States.

Created by J.C. on May 28, 2015

Routine Infant Circumcision is an archaic practice that has no basis in scientific fact. The surgery has a high rate of complications and removes an important part of an infant boy's anatomy without his consent, forever impacting his sexual freedom and experience, as well as taking away his ability to make this decision on his own.

The human foreskin has at least 20 functions (http://www.circumstitions.com/Functions.html) and its removal is condemned by medical agencies around the world (http://bit.ly/1KsrtQr).

The United States is the only developed nation that practices RIC (http://www.circumstitions.com/w18.html).

As responsible human beings and citizens, WE THE PEOPLE request that the Administration address this issue and ban non-therapeutic infant circumcision immediately.
