There are a lot reasons on both sides. Some are stated in the link above. Some are that if God wanted a baby to have no foreskin, he would make a baby with no foreskin. Many believe it is unnecessary and cruel. Benifits do not outweigh the risks etc. AAP has not recommended it as routine since the 70's.

Circumcision Policy Statement -- Task Force on Circumcision 103 (3): 686 -- AAP Policy

There are some benefits to circumsion and the AAP recommends that parents be aware of all aspects and make their choice accordingly.

Thanks girlie!!
