American "conservatives" love to mutilate baby boys and they get really pissed when you call them out on it.

American circumcision is a product of the era of medical innovations that happened in the late 19th and early 20th century. There was so much changing about medical science so rapidly that a lot of terrible practices wound up being accepted by most doctors. Since a lot of medical innovation was happening in the US, it's reasonable to believe that this is just where circumcision happened to take hold. There's also the fact that, even after WWII, Europe was not very friendly to jews and therefore didn't really consider circumsion anything more than a weird jewish practice. The US and its healthcare industry was more friendly and welcoming to jews.

This was the era of "shock them til they're not crazy anymore" and "let's develop vaccines for everything" and "there's a new drug for that". Obviously things haven't changed much, but they have changed. Many doctors are opposed to circumcision now. When my son was born, the nurses simply asked us if we wanted it done or not and didn't try to tell us it was good or necessary, in fact it was easier for us to say no because then we didn't have to sign any forms about it. In that way, no circumcision was almost the default choice.
