>why hasn't this been fought as hard as it should in america?
Generations of jewish doctors and a for-profit healthcare system that makes a pretty good side income ripping off foreskins en masse. Plus, once something like that exists in a culture, it takes a lot of work to root it out. I mean, think about it. Most parents, when their kids are born, are absolutely in love with that child. They want to do anything to nurture and protect them and give them the best possible life they ever could.
So here comes Dr Schlomo Shekelstein and says, "Congratulations on the baby! Time to get that little guy circumcised!" And what the fuck do the parents know? The dad was probably circumcised himself, and his dad before him. He doesn't know a world without it. He doesn't know what an intact body feels like, and he thinks, "Well, it's been done in my family for generations, and we all turned out alright." The mom doesn't have any clue what it's like to have a penis. She hears Shekelstein say, "Yeah goy, lots of good health benefits!" and she's all onboard. I mean, the doctor is an authority figure, he'd know, right? She just wants what's best for her new baby and the highly paid professional with over a decade of med school under his belt just told her this was for the best.
And then once it's done? You might be able to talk parents out of it beforehand, but once it's done, their minds are almost surely set for life: it was the right decision. Remember, most people aren't sociopaths. They LOVE that kid and would DIE for him. They would never abuse him, they would never think to abuse him, the only want the best for him. So they take the doctor's advice and he gets his little infant dick mutilated and it can't be undone or taken back. And after that point, the parents KNOW they did the right thing and it's totally justified, because if it wasn't the right thing, if it can't be justified, it means they just sent their newborn baby boy to have his penis hacked up by a stranger so the for-profit hospital could make a couple hundred extra bucks on the way out the door. They can't admit to themselves that they did that, that they might have actually abused their child in an extreme and traumatizing way in one of the very first moments of his early life. To admit they abused a helpless infant, who they LOVE, is too much for most people to come to terms with, and so up come the mental barriers.
