Every day, we parents must make difficult decisions for our children. Circumcision is just one of the many such decisions a patent is responsible for making. Do we curcumsize or not? Do we vaccinate or not? Breastmilk or formula or both? Do we medicate or not? Do we surgically correct non-life threatening cosmetic abnormalities/deformities such as birthmarks or cleft lips or malformed ears? Do we homeschool or send to a private or public school? Do we keep our child in a 5-pt harness carseat for longer than the law dictates or do we just move to a booster seat as allowable by law? Organic foods versus "regular" foods? 2-piece bathing suits for infants and young girls or put in modest 1-piece suits?
If you have a special needs or medically fragile child, the number of decisions to be made increases drastically.
As a parent, the best thing we can do is educateourselves to all sides of an issue, focus on the facts, and make an educated decision on what to do. There will always be other people who will find the wrongness of our choices and criticize our decisions. That is just another fact of life.
I did educate myself on the pros and cons of circumcision. I discussed it with my pediatrician as well as a pediatric urology surgeon. I made my decision, and I stand by it. You can call me whatever name you want, but don't you dare assume I'm some ignorant non-worthy parent who doesn't care about her children's welfare. If you do, then your next step will be go try an intervene in my life in order to force me to adopt your own personal beliefs on child raising. And ironically, some of those people do not even have a child of their own.

And ftr, I don't really think you're a troll. But you do tend to ask things or make your point in a very abrasive manner. Even when I think you have a point I'm sometimes put off by the way things are worded.
