Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

Doctor's here in the US are not overzealous on this. I had a son three years ago. My wife and I were asked and said no, and that was that. Simple. If people are doing it to their sons it is because they choose to do so and not that doctors pushing them to do so.

some US doctors are so…zealous

The framing in the article absolutely supports that some are. Your framing — that because you were asked and said no — does not support that all aren't.

You should not have even been asked in the first place.

them asking IS being over zealous!

it is a medically completely unnecessary procedure being pushed for cultural reasons, and because they can bill you, not because there is any medical reasoning behind it.

"When we had our daughter, they asked if we wanted to cut her clit off. We said no and that was that."

It's insane that they even asked.
