CDC: US Circumcision Rate Has Plunged to 33%

2010-08-17
By

The rate of circumcisions in the United States has declined precipitously during the past four years.

The news was revealed at the recent 18th International AIDS Conference in Vienna, where Charbel El Bcheraoui, Ph.D. of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave a presentation stating that the newborn circumcision rate has plunged from 56% in 2006 to only 33% a short three years later in 2009. The dramatic drop accentuates a decade long trend in the rate of male circumcision across the U.S. population.

This data appears likely to be reliable as according to the CDC, it comes from the largest review of US circumcision rates ever performed. While it is probably impossible to be certain of the exact causes of this development, intactivists can justly take credit for much of the change, especially given that it has been achieved despite the attempts of some to promote the procedure to allegedly help stop AIDS in Africa.

An article about this development can be read on the website of the American College of Emergency Physicians at imng.com.

Vienna participants Martin Novoa and Ken Drabik will be reporting in detail on this important conference in our next newsletter, due out in a few months.

    trying not to burst the bubble! But 2 reasons for the decline. 1 is the stop of 33 states prob more since this article, where circumcision isnt covered for rift raff any more. 2 Over 60 percent of births in our fine country are from dog shit mexican crap. They cannot feed as fast as they breed, where ever they are! Should just gas the entire race, as they are nothing but Locus. Lazy Fat Stupid beyond belief! I deal with these animals everyday!. Makes me wish Hitler won!

    Neither our son nor the son of friends of ours were circumcised. They were born two days apart. No ill effects have been noted.

    I hope US doctors are better educated about the foreskin, than they have been in the past. No-one but the boy should ever try to retract the foreskin. At birth it is attached to the head of the penis. It separates in its own time as the boy grows up. Any attempt to retract it prematurely can cause damage, including infection, which is then used as a bogus justification for circumcision. Bad advice from doctors is the prime cause for this. Never leave a boy unattended with a doctor, in case he tries this!

    That second sentence should read, “a man who wasn’t CIRCUMSIZED” (which she knew). Her quote, “I thought something was wrong with guys who weren’t circumsized”.

    Sorry for the mess.

  • Mickey T

    A stigma is put on uncircumsized men by the mutilation obsessed American culture. I once heard a women say to a men who wasn’t uncircumsized, “I thought something was wrong with guys who weren’t. An an exact quote.

    A man is mutilated at birth, then considered a freak by women.

    @S Baker: What is your point now? Some people feel so strongly that their bodies are out of synch with their gender identities that they get their bodies changed. They have to go through psychiatric hoops to prove it, before they can get it paid for (through the same channels as the rest of us). You call them “deviant”; from their point of view they are straighening things out. Unlike with circumcision, they are adults making an informed choice for themselves, as is their right. Walk a mile in their shoes (high heels only for the M to F).

    This is good news. I’m anti-circumcision, and if I have to explain why I don’t want someone cutting off an important part of baby boys’ penises then you are an idiot. But I will explain if you have any questions….

  • S Baker

    OK, ok, I get it. I stand corrected. I underwent said procedure many years ago, but honestly, I have blocked out the cruel memory. For cryin out loud, we have deviants undergoing genital mutilation, some at the expense of health insurance and government, to become “a different sex.” These creatures are called transgenders and now have special protection under the law. They also receive an approved lifetime supply of sex steroids while athletes get prosecuted.

    This is good news. There is no overwhelming benefit of infant circumcision to justify the genital cutting of children. The high circumcision rate in the past has not helped the US, which has a higher HIV/AIDS rate than non-circumcising countries in Europe. The only thing circumcision prevents is the man from fully enjoying his sex organ.

    So….

    if the pro-circumcision crowd is correct then STD/STI rates will skyrocket about 15 years from when those boys because sexually active.

    Right?

  • Vic Maltby

    @baker Your outer adult is a vicious bastard too. Genital mutilation is done to both sexes but done far more frequently to boys. It is wrong no matter who it is done to. Sounds to me like you should listen more to your masculine side…..you know….the rational side.

  • Mickey T

    Not to mention, it removes several square inches of erogenous skin.

    But no matter, men are used to, and are expected to, get screwed when they get screwed.

    @baker:
    Why this shouldn’t be a headline?
    It’s great news.
    But of course, you are not a baby boy, going to be mutilated without reason.
    So why should you care?

  • S Baker

    This is the headline article for today?? You gotta be kiddin. This makes me want to get in touch with my inner self. I got in touch with my inner child once. He’s a vicious little bastard. I also got in touch with my feminine side. Unfortunately, it was a bad touch and now I am the subject of a restraining order that requires me to remain 150 feet away from myself at all times.







Right.

Man up.
