Home ยป Should baby boys be routinely circumcised?

Fewer baby boys being circumcised in the U.S.

According to a study by the National Health and Social Life Survey, the U.S. circumcision rate peaked at nearly 90 percent in the early 1960s but began dropping in the '70s.

In some states, the rate is well below 50 percent.
