The Christian is especially admonished not to make anything into a false religion - not even things that are necessary or beneficial in and of themselves. We are to worship only the Lord our God. To give the medical profession, or anything else, any kind of undue worship is going against basic Christian beliefs. Concern over abortion and concern over routine infant circumcision are equally volatile issues which in most cases should be kept separate. Yet they have many parallels.
Some people see both as acts of medical violence and invalidation of our precious, innocent infants.
Most Christians either oppose abortion, or at least have serious moral concerns about it, and do agree that human life is real and deserving of respect and consideration from the beginning of pregnancy on. Those who oppose routine infant circumcision are deeply concerned with the infant's rights as a human being. No baby or small child has ever wanted or asked to be circumcised. Anyone who supports the rights of the pre- born child, certainly should be challenged similarly to consider the rights of the already born child. The intact baby movement is borne out of a deep sense of compassion and sensitivity to the needs of helpless infants.
