Help protect baby boys in 2010
Georganne Chapin, Intact America
If three of the most prominent medical organizations in the United States are allowed to ignore the ethics of circumcision, nothing will stop them from taking the unprecedented move of recommending circumcision for all baby boys.
Patrick, our campaign of conscience can stop that from happening. But we can't do it without you.
With just three days until our deadline, we're still $7,045 short of raising the funds we need.
With your support, Intact America will be able to continue its critical outreach to decision-makers at these medical organizations:
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): When the CDC seemed set to issue a circumcision recommendation this summer, our outreach at its conference in Atlanta made national headlines. As of now, the CDC has indefinitely postponed its decision – but we can't let up until we're certain they've abandoned this dangerous recommendation altogether!
- The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): After Dr. Susan Blank, the Chair of the AAP Task Force on Circumcision, made supportive statements regarding flawed studies on circumcision and HIV transmission in Africa, intactivists sent thousands of emails in protest. In 2010, we'll need your help to keep holding Task Force members like Dr. Blank accountable!
- The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): When the AAFP announced it was considering recommending circumcision, our team took our call to conscience directly to their national conference in Boston. With your continued support, we'll be able to reach many more doctors in 2010!
We can't rest until we know these medical organizations have abandoned any plans to recommend circumcision.
With your help, we can make sure the medical community sees circumcision for what it really is: unnecessary, harmful, and ethically wrong.
Thank you so much for being part of this important work.
Sincerely,
Georganne Chapin
