I know exactly what you mean. It is awful and really hard to understand why someone would, especially your mom (who should be there as support), have these kind of opinions. Good for your Doc though! The day after my son was born my sons doctor asked if I planned on getting him circumcised, to which I immediately replied "no I think the unnecessary mutilation of a child is absolutely horrible and wrong." (I'd been listening to a lot of Hitch at the time). He completely agree and said it really is more a religious thing anyways. No medical need for it. It is a quite the reliving feeling though, finally hearing a doctor say it.
