Beyond the Bris: Questioning Jewish Circumcision: Choosing Brit Shalom Over Brit Milah

Moralogous: When your husband wants to circumcise

barrels of oranges: How I became an Intactivist
A mother of one son writes about how she became an intactivist, fighting for the rights of baby boys to keep their body whole and intact. She and her husband were of the same mind about not circumcising before their son was born. It was only later that she found how infant circumcisions were performed by watching a circumcision video. That was the clincher for being an intactivist. No child should have to go through a painful circumcision and live with only part of his penis.

Medical Journal: Child Circumcision: An Elephant in the Hospital
