'The dangers and medical futility of circumcising male newborns'

 
Enter the Jewish Circumcision Resource Center (JCRC), a group so shocked by modern day circumcision you'd think they would have collapsed from some sort of circulatory malfunction by now.

A subdivision of the larger, nondenominational Circumcision Resource Center, the JCRC is one of many online groups currently propagating the dangers and medical futility of circumcising male newborns, and "facilitating [the] healing" process for the estimated 1.2 million Americans still "diminished" every year. At the heart of their argument is the American Academy of Pediatrics dubious policy on circumcision, which states that despite scientific evidence demonstrating potential medical benefits of circumcision, "these data [remain insufficient] to recommend routine neonatal circumcision."
