Again, which agents? Which diseases? It's interesting, because of everything I've learned about STDs, I've never heard of this.

Not everyone is privy to proper personal hygeine, let alone sexual health. It's not just a matter of "we have access to showers".

...really? How difficult is it to wash your junk?

It's not realistic to go through your whole life avoiding driving for most people, and many people are willing to take that risk. For most people, leading an even somewhat fulfilling life without access to transportation would be impossible. A circumcision is an extremely low-risk, routine procedure that causes no negative side effects from a medical standpoint. If you are morally opposed to having your child circumcised that's fine; I'm arguing this purely relating to health risks. Even the most modest research shows there is an increased risk of medical problems in uncircumcised children.

Can you produce some of this research? I'd love to see it.

I never accused her of that. These are hardly facts though.
