My $.02:

I was circumcised and honestly, I'm glad. I think aesthetically it's a better choice. My family really doesn't have a religious reason, I figure it's just what was normal when I was born.

Honestly, if I'd been able to make the choice back then, I'd have chosen to get snipped. Knowing what I do now, I see that the only one of my friends that was supposedly uncircumcised got teased pretty bad, even in high school.

I don't really know if I'll be having children, so it's not an especially important issue in my future, but I do know that if I had a son, I'd most likely get him circumcised. Not because I am, but just because I know that it CAN be very difficult in this area to grow up un-cut.

So, in summation, no, I don't think it's abuse. It's simply a matter of opinion.
