“What we’re dealing with here is that the doctors are under a compulsion to do this (circumcision), because they have been harmed (by circumcision) themselves. They can’t seem to let it alone. That’s why I think the only way to treat this is to get a law against it. That’s the only thing they’re going to listen to.” Dr. George Denniston, founder of Doctors Opposing Circumcision
