What is the circumcision rate in the US?
According to a study conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the circumcision rate for newborn infant males in the United States has fallen sharply over the past several years. In 2009, only 32.5% of male infants born in the United States were circumcised, down from 56% in 2006. Circumcision rates have been falling in the United States since the 1970s. In the 1980s, over 80% of newborn male infants were circumcised. However by 2007, data from the American Academy of Pediatrics showed that less than half of male infants born in the United States were circumcised. This trend has continued, and the number of circumcisions performed has been steadily dropping every year. According to the most recent projections released by the CDC, it is estimated that 70-75% of the boys born in the United States in 2010 will remain uncircumcised. Notably, there is some regional variation in circumcision rates. The western United States has by far the lowest rate of infant circumcision, far below the national average of 32.5% in 2009. Circumcision rates tend to be higher in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations, as both of those religions have traditionally viewed circumcision as a religious practice.

A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007.

What are the aftercare procedures for male infant circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis. When circumcision occurs in hospitals, the foreskin is either discarded with other medical waste or it is sold to medical laboratory's for the creation of skin hormones and cosmetics. 1 baby foreskin can create over $100.000 worth of product. It is little wonder that US medical Authority's are quietly reluctant to advise parents honestly about the folly of male genital mutilation. When circumcision takes place in the home as part of the traditional Jewish bris, the foreskin is sometimes placed in a small vial of soil to decompose and is given to the parents.
In America is circumcision necessary?
Circumcision is not necessary anywhere. the original reason for circumcision is a religious/ cultural one and is in fact harmful to the person that has had it done to them. Circumcision for so called medical reasons was introduced into English speaking cultures in the mid 1800s. It was claimed by the British medics that masturbation was the cause of over a hundred different diseases ranging from syphilis to blindness and insanity and that circumcision would desensitise the penis and thereby reduce the incidence of masturbation. to make a long story short the practice persisted in the US fro the longest time and is diminishing now. However there is still a lot of sly misinformation presented to the public by a medical profession that is making a lot of money from the practice and as a result of damage done as a result. To sum up between 15 and 20% of the world men are circumcised and most of these are done for religious and cultural reasons. there is no reason why any male should be circumcised. as a mater of fact it is male genital mutilation nothing more.
Is Jewish circumcision a blood sacrifice?
