Are males in USA circumcised after birth by default?

[sinstoic]

Hi. Is it true that in USA, over 80% of males are circumcised after their birth? I heard that this procedure is actually carried out for additional revenue for the hospitals but they rationalize it as a procedure carried out for health reasons. I also heard that while the women is admitted for delivery, they make her sign many forms and one of them is for the circumcision of her newly born male child.

I do not want my son to be circumcised. How do I ensure this? It would be very helpful if others who gave birth to a male child in USA share their experiences.

Both my sons were born in USA. They were not circumcised. It is your option. They ask. You deceide
