African Circumcision Lies Exposed By Punch Up Press
Robert Bailey's denial crumbles under original research by Ryan Jones.
Punch Up Press, a new Substack by Ryan Jones, recently published their first article titled "Scientist Denies Circumcising Infants in Africa, Records Show Otherwise." The article explores the contradictions surrounding Professor Robert Bailey's statements about infant circumcision programs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Bailey, a key figure behind mass-scale circumcision programs, denied performing infant circumcision in a recent interview. However, Punch Up Press contacted the Nyanza Reproductive Health Society (NRHS), co-founded by Bailey, and confirmed that they do provide infant circumcisions free of charge.
The NRHS's own documents and annual reports boast about spearheading infant circumcision efforts in Kenya, contradicting Bailey's claims. The organization's strategic plan includes infants and children on their list of clients, clearly indicating their involvement in infant circumcision.
Furthermore, Bailey's statements about only focusing on adolescent circumcision and dismissing concerns about infant circumcision were found inconsistent with his previous publications and advocacy for infant circumcision techniques and devices.
These discrepancies highlight the need for accountability and transparency in infant circumcision programs. Critics argue that such programs raise ethical concerns due to their coercive nature and lack of informed consent, particularly when it comes to infants and small boys.
Ryan Jones' initial entry in Punch Up Press reflects exceptional writing skills and meticulous original research, making him a writer to watch. Punch Up Press can be found here:
