The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: "There is no medical reason for doing this." From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights. She founded the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC); organized fifteen international symposia; and became a spokesperson for promoting the genital integrity of all children. A story of determination, service, and love, Marilyn's memoir describes the myths, misinformation, and economic forces driving non-religious infant circumcision in the United States, where it has become standard practice. Readers may find their own beliefs and assumptions challenged, and their hearts touched by this story of a life devoted to justice for babies and the adults they will become. -- $c From Amazon.com 650 0 $a Circumcision. 650 0 $a Circumcision $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Infants $x Surgery. 650 2 $a Circumcision, Male $0 (DNLM)D002944 650 6 $a Circoncision. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0015576 650 6 $a Circoncision $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374080 $x Aspect social. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374080 650 6 $a Nourrissons $x Chirurgie. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0085103 650 7 $a circumcisions. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300069156 700 1 $a Kirkwood, Judy, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240504010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=96BEBDE409DB11EF9809F61335ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
