NICE BARBARIC RITUAL YOU GOT THERE. BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE MEDICALIZED IT. Approximately 816,000 newborn boys underwent circumcision in U.S. hospitals in 2022. That's roughly: • 2,235 every day. • 93 every hour. • One every 39 seconds. Nearly half of male newborns in U.S. hospitals underwent a surgical procedure to remove healthy genital tissue. Not because they requested it. Not because they consented. And not necessarily because anything was medically wrong. We took an ancient practice, put it in a hospital, gave it a billing code and called it routine medical care. The baby still doesn't get a vote. And somehow, the people questioning the practice are the strange ones. Source: JAMA Pediatrics, 2025, national neonatal circumcision trends, 2012–2022. Figures reflect hospital circumcisions and exclude procedures performed elsewhere.
