Just seeing upset makes me tear up a bit. I just straight up cried for allowing this to happen to him. I will not let it happen again if I have another. :'(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398559866089830656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670263825701479846.post-14135177874004564352013-02-24T13:15:38.956-05:002013-02-24T13:15:38.956-05:00This is great.

I was so upset when I found out what I had really allowed to be done to them, and how unnecessary and damaging it really was. Now I try my best to gently educate my friends who are pregnant, so that they hopefully make a different choice than I did, and avoid living with the guilt that I deal with every day.

I for many years have had the belief that we are born perfect, the way we are meant to be. <br />I birthed my last baby a girl @ home 13 1/2 months ago, and was relieved I would not need to convince my other half why we should not circumcise or baby. Well we just found out the gender of our unborn child & and I knew I needed to start helping him understand that it it's completely barbaric.<br />Your blog gave me some great points to make. Facts that even I was in a "really" moment when reading. <br />I'm so happy to say that he has agreed that we will not circumcise our baby boy!! It only took me two days of pointing out facts for him to agree. I think thats how long it took me to give him facts about homebirthing as well....LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369060961652395570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670263825701479846.post-78648567923575160762013-02-02T16:26:34.514-05:002013-02-02T16:26:34.514-05:00well researched and well put, you have given a unb...well researched and well put, you have given a unbiased viewpoint that points to an obviously choice for our children.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670263825701479846.post-44645772019519408602013-02-02T13:49:53.885-05:002013-02-02T13:49:53.885-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670263825701479846.post-53181866757085857492013-02-02T11:40:53.120-05:002013-02-02T11:40:53.120-05:00Hi Alyssa,
Thank you so much for this excellent a...Hi Alyssa,<br /><br />Thank you so much for this excellent article; it is wise, informative and compassionate. I'd like to share with you an article which I wrote and was published by the Huffington Post about a year ago, which looks at the unspoken, unacknowledged effects of circumcision particularly on the mother and the maternal/infant bond. I've written it through a feminist and Jewish lens. It's entitled, "Circumcision: Identity, Gender and Power". Here's the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/miriam-pollack.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484891650995704519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670263825701479846.post-32098038423431371502013-02-02T07:13:13.181-05:002013-02-02T07:13:13.181-05:00Thank you for writing this!

I did not want to put him through pain and now after watching it I'm so happy I listened to instinct. <br />This just breaks my heart :( no baby should be strapped down and put through such pain religion or not its just not right. Its a baby for goodness sake! Why not give the freedom to choose to the baby when he grows up.

You were very kind, while speaking the truth. I appreciate that very much, because sometimes when I read pro-intact blogs, there is an undercurrent of disgust or hatred directed towards parents who have chosen circumcision... we are not monsters, just people, people who were lied to, people who put their trust in their doctors (who we are supposed to be able to trust!) Anyways, the point is, thank you. I will be bookmarking this blog post as a resource to use. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031294858454742239noreply@blogger.com
