Once again, you need to learn the facts.
Circumcision
Male circumcision for HIV prevention - World Health Organization
CDC - Male Circumcision
Also this is proof that circumcision is a more healthy choice: Circumcision in Africa reduces HIV transmission - Los Angeles Times
These are all the facts. You cannot argue against them. Not choosing to cirumcise your baby boys is your choice, however it would be in their best interest for them to be circumcised. The benefits are great.

So it's justified to preemptively circumcise babies against their will because 1 to 1.5% of children will develop phimosis (which is not a life threatening condition), a condition that can be easily treated without circumcision? You clearly did not read the links. They show far more benefits than that.
Are you suggesting you know better than the World Health Organization, the Center for Disease Control, and the majority of medical doctors? No? Didn't think so. You are unfit to argue against circumcision. You are not an expert, they are. They know more than you and everyone else in this thread.
So if they say that circumcisoin has numerous health benefits, then it's recommended that you listen to them.
How does anything you posted justify the procedure of neonatal circumcision? The health benefits are weak at best and most reputable health organizations don't condone the routine neonatal circumcision of babies; Stating that the possible health benefits are not sufficient to justify the procedure especially in light of the possible risks of the operation. Show me where the organizations you listed recommend routine neonatal circumcision.
It always amazes me how people fail to see the true reason for the procedure, It is on reasons other then medical. If it wasn't the case that such things have been practiced for thousands of years then it would never occur or be argued for today. There is also serious health risks involved in keeping your appendix and tonsils but know one is advocating their removal at birth even though they pose a far greater health risk then your foreskin.
The possible reduction of HIV infection is negligible and unprotected sex in Africa for circumcised males still poses a high risk of infection. Circumcision is not an alternative to condoms, Which happen to provide equal protection to both the circumcised or not.
