About to give birth? Thinking of circumcision? You owe it to your child to read this article! I guarantee you will CHOOSE against it!

I discuss and give grand sources for: #1 reason in America: Habit / Pain of circumcision including stark video/ Risks including death/ Effects of Infant Feeding Habits/ World & American Statistics and Maps/ Higher Sensitivity of Non-altered Penis/ How to Help Share Info/ Put your foot down/ Fab Reference sites/ Those opposing this crime/ Why I chose not to before I knew all this info!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Personal Take: the non-medical side: the common sense side of me:
When I was 30, and had my first boy, I naturally had the thought that I just did not want to cut something off of my son that was naturally in place.
Whether you are a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Atheist... or whatever religion, the simple fact is this: that foreskin is meant to be there, placed by something other than yourself, for a reason that is good enough for nature...and this reason should be good enough for you to leave it alone. No person or leader should make your mind up to purposefully decide to cut off a sensitive (or any other) part of your child's delicate body. A flower has a remarkable geometry that only nature could possibly suggest for reasons we will never know. The human body is the same. Your baby was born perfect! 
UPDATE: In a matter of days, already almost 200 views-so I am not the crazy one here!
People are sharing!
-----------------------------------------------------
Now on to the FACTS~
there are reasons that circumcision rates are falling! Don't you want in on them? RISKS:

  • Bleeding, which can be severe
  • Meatal stenosis (scarring of the hole the urine comes out of), which can occur in boys and men who had infant circumcision. This can require multiple surgeries to correct
  • Too much or too little skin can be removed, which can lead to cosmetic and functional issues  
  • The penis can be damaged, and amputation, partial amputation, and damage to the urethra are recognized complications of circumcision
  • Infection 
  • Much less sensitivity in altered penis 
  • Death

Breastfeeding haters versus the Mile High Advocate- I win!

Ignorant Comments and my retorts (for you breastfeeding haters, this word means: to say something in answer to a remark or accusation, typically in a sharp, angry, or wittily incisive manner)

Comment #1
"Do you want to know why there are so many single mothers out there? Because they insist on nursing their babies. Obviously these morons don't realize tits are for the enjoyment of men, not feeding some stupid baby-hello? They sell cans of formula at any drugstore or supermarket." Author: a sad, sad, ignorant man.

MHA's Retort: No matter what your basic religious or moral views are, anyone in their right mind can tell what a faucet is for: letting water from it. This analogy is perfect for babying you through this topic. Boobies make milk, not for engorgement pain in vein, so that we new mommies can wish we were dead because they hurt so bad. Common sense, as opposed to your uncommon sense, tells one that the timing is not just coincidental when it comes to: Baby comes out, boobies explode with milk. Period. Any questions?

Tanning Beds are "Carcinogenic to Humans" !!!

TANNING BEDS AS "CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS"
  •  The most common type of cancer is skin cancer, and the number of people affected rises each year.
  • UV rays can trigger changes to the DNA in skin cells that may lead to cancerous growths. The two most common types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are almost always linked to UV exposure.
  • 90 percent of cases of the less common but more deadly form, melanoma, also are attributed to UV exposure, says Darrell S. Rigel, MD, a professor of clinical dermatology at New York University.
  •  Tanning beds omit UV Rays. Period.
  • Melanoma is one of the few forms of cancer that's on the rise," says Dr. Rigel. The tan look so desired by young women may explain why 20- and 30-somethings are diagnosed with the disease at alarming rates, he adds. 
  •  A person's melanoma risk rises 75 percent if he or she started using a tanning bed before age 30.
