The goal of this page is to connect parents in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW Arlington Plano Garland Irving Grand-Prairie) with accurate information regarding male infant/child circumcision. There is no REASON to cut healthy, living tissue off a newborn. The fo****in has a function, which is why GOD or NATURE (whichever you believe) put it there. God does not make mistakes, and evolution does not make mi
stakes either (for every single male to be BORN with a fo****in, there is a reason. He was "BORN THIS WAY"!) Indeed, if you are Christian, you need not, rather MUST NOT circumcise. To find out more about what the Bible really says about circumcision, check this out: http://www.udonet.com/circumcision/christian.html
Circumcision is extremely painful, unnecessary, cosmetic surgery, which can have dire consequences. In others, suffer complications like this infant:

"Nothing in life is 100% safe, but circumcision is 100% avoidable." If you are interested in learning whether fo****in has any purpose from a medical perspective, you may watch that video here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1482347046642439341
Mercifully, circumcision is slowly but surely becoming unfashionable across North America. Leave his private parts alone. 90% of the world's males are intact. Today, only some 30-35% of baby boys in the USA are circumcised. If you cut off the most sensitive, pleasurable part of his p***s, making him lose the equivalent of a 3 x 5 inch index card of skin containing some 40,000 to 100,000 nerve endings, do you REALLY think that he will thank you for it? If someone had cut off YOUR cl****al hood, leaving your cl****is exposed, rubbed, and keratinised since birth, would you be able to enjoy s*x as much as you do today? There really is NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE AT ALL between "male circ" a.k.a. male ge***al mutilation (MGM), and female ge***al mutilation (FGM). To find out the REAL difference between male and female circumcision: http://babiesboobsandblasphemy.blogspot.com/2011/03/boys-versus-girls.html
As you can see from this link, many types of female circumcision are actually much less invasive than the male kind:

The chances that he will "need" to be circumcised later in life are tiny, as long as you follow proper INTACT care. 1) Intact, don't retract; 2) Only clean what is seen; 3) If he can p*e, leave him be. NEVER EVER pull back your son's fo****in, especially not to try to "clean underneath" or something like that. That can cause serious damage, and even lead to phimosis, which of course, doctors will use as a reason to circumcise him later. THE ONLY ONE TO PULL BACK THE FO****IN is the OWNER of the P***S. Watch your son when he is with medical personnel, who often DO try to prematurely retract a fo****in, not knowing any better. INFORM your baby-sitter and day care. Get anyone who is involved in your son's care to sign an INTACT CARE agreement available from DOC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=367CR4EqyWo&feature=youtu.be
The fo****in is fused to the tip of the p***s (g***s) at birth and for years thereafter, providing effective protection from all the poo and other messes in a diaper, for example, preventing any infection and preventing the g***s from being exposed and keratinized, which may lead to s*xual dysfunction by the 30's or 40's (ever wonder why Vi**ra was "invented" in the U.S, where until about 5 years ago, some places had as much as 90% of boys s*xually assaulted at birth?)
How is infant circumcision performed and what are the risks? The baby is placed spread out on his back upon a board called a circumstraint. His arms and legs are strapped down to this board so that he can’t move. His ge***als are scrubbed and covered with antiseptic. The fo****in is then torn from his glands and crushed and/or cut off using a circumcision device. The three main devices used in Canada are: Mogen (recently went bankrupt), Plastibell, and Gomco clamp. Overall the procedure is very painful and traumatic for the infant. As a result some babies pass out. In Canada and the United States anesthetic is generally not used. However, even if anesthetic is used, the procedure is still extremely painful, as there is a nerve on the bottom side of the p***s that CANNOT be anesthesized with local anesthetic. And, of course, the anesthesia wears off quite quickly, just like it does at the dentist’s office! See this pictorial:

Have you not heard of all the babies who die from this unnecessary surgery? In the U.S. there are several reports of deaths annually. It is estimate that as many as 117 deaths occur each year in America alone. Long-term risks include extensive scarring, skin bridges, meatal stenosis (10% of circumcised boys), painful erections, loss of sensation, difficulty ej*******ng, tearing/bleeding at the scar, and psychological issues. Overall the long-term complications are not well studied. Here is but one example....real screen shots from the mom who blogged about how she "almost" killed her NICU baby....only to have him die the day after he was circ'd. :( Here is the little guy's story:
http://guggiedaly.blogspot.com/2011/01/tragic-story-of-joshuas-death-according.html
Could your boy be next? Do you not appreciate this special gift that GOD gave you...a perfect little boy in every way...and that HE allowed him to survive? Only to be cut up? NO! Baby Joshua died at some six weeks of age...not from his primary condition that was the reason why he was in NICU, but because his parents just could not come to terms with the fact that daddy was circ'd, big brother was circ'd, and hey, he had to be to fit in! Worse, they were Christians who did not even know that as per the Bible, only the Jews (Old Testament) are to get circ'd. Christians follow the New Testament, which expressly FORBIDS CIRC. Other than death, there can be other complications, such as "botched circumcisions", amputation of the p***s, and so forth. The immediate risk of complications is between 2% to 10%. This includes excessive bleeding, infection, complications from anesthetic (if used), heart failure, surgical mistakes such as loss of g***s or entire p***s, and even death. For a brief list of complications as per Stanford University’s own School of Medicine, see this link: http://newborns.stanford.edu/CircComplications.html
Unconvinced? Just Google Circumcision + Death, or Circumcision + "Complications or Botched", and see for yourself! If you are one of the parents who DID circumcise your son(s), please do not feel bad about it. You did what you thought best at the time, and nobody can or should judge you for it. Know that there are millions of parents who may have regrets. One well-known mom, Marilyn Milos Fayre, turned into an ardent CRUSADER (No-CIRC) FOR ge***al integrity after her three sons had been circumcised and she was doing a hospital rotation to become an RN. After witnessing a routine infant circumcision (RIC) like that which had been carried out on her own three boys during a hospital rotation the doc turned around nonchalantly to her and said, "There is NO MEDICAL REASON TO DO THIS!" You can read about Marilyn's story here:
http://www.drmomma.org/2009/12/circumcision-what-i-wish-id-known.html
You should know that Marilyn is far from being alone. Indeed, just "google" " parents or mothers" and "regret circumcision". You will be astounded by the results. If you cut your first son, you DO have an alternative and do not need to carry out the same barbaric procedure on your second son. There are support groups for savvy parents just like you, who have learned from their mistakes. One such group on Facebook is "Keeping Future Sons Intact". There really is no "choice" other than the baby's, when it comes to the most sensitive part of his perfect little p***s. Repeat after me: "His body, his choice." It's not a "CHOICE" for you to make! Hey YOU, fathers who have been cut! Please read this BEFORE you perpetrate the cycle of unnecessary violence:

MOTHERS: it is YOUR JOB TO PROTECT YOUR VULNERABLE INFANT. Why do you want him to hurt for no good reason? In some areas in the U.S., circumcision is still very high, though slowly but surely, that is changing! Just a couple of decades back, approximately 85% of American males were circumcised at birth. (http://www.mgmbill.org/statistics.htm). Happily, overall in the U.S., some 67% of baby boys are being taken home WHOLE, and 84% of ALL babies combined, are going home INTACT, the way nature intended.
