Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
I am going to see Christiane Northrup, MD present tomorrow at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium in NYC. I have long admired her work as an Ob/Gyn who honors women’s wisdom and the mind, body, spirit connection. Today Dr. Northrup authored a blog for the Huffington Post titled, We Need To Stop Circumcision. I agree with Dr. Northrup that routine female and male circumcision are unacceptable, and I too wonder, “Why should we routinely remove normal, functioning tissue from the genitals of little boys within days of their birth?” I think this is an important topic to become educated about and am glad that our culture is increasingly questioning the practice of male circumcision as we do female circumcision. Check out her article if you want to learn more, or click here for additional links and videos related to circumcision.
