Circumcision Information
I'm always on the lookout for information on circumcision that I would be comfortable passing on to parents. I think these .pdf documents offer useful information in a neutral, nonthreatening tone. If you work with pregnant women or are pregnant yourself and trying to come to a decision about circumcising, these documents might be helpful.

It's been a while since I've reviewed them, so I'm not sure how "neutral and non-threatening" these are, but in my right-hand sidebar, I have several links dealing with circumcision, including circumcision.org, Doctors Opposing Circumcision, It's A Boy, NoCirc, and What the Bible really says about infant circumcision, which is great for Christian couples who feel like circumcision is a Christian mandate, simply because it was in the Old Testament.

I'm a doula, and these are all great resources!
I do have a couple to add.
For Jewish parents,
jewishcircumcision.org
jewsagainstcircumcision.org
(especially the "Counseling Couples in Disagreement" link)
For Muslim parents

Also, NOCIRC of Colorado has excellent materials that can be printed off

I realize the Muslim links are not exactly that polished, but I do think it's important for people to know they are not alone, even if the the group is a little informal.
Another Circumcision Resource Page designed for expectant parents is at: http://www.icgi.org/birth_care_providers.htm
