Circumcision would have no effect on delivery. simply removing the hood from the clitoris will cause nothing to tear. I think the article is mixing apples with oranges.

Scar tissue doesn't stretch as well as normal tissue. This can cause strictures on the urethra which did not handle the delivery that I witnessed well. The patient also had been Infibulated which caused tearing that caused a heavier repair than usual.

I witnessed this as the patients Nurse.

Infibulation very likely will result in a difficult delivery, but that is not circumcision.
