Piercing a baby's ears

li
I didn't even know this was controversial but I see that a lot of people thought piercings a babies ears was abusive and wrong. 
I mean where I come from everyone got their babies ears pierced. I got my ears peirced at 6 weeks old and I'm 19 now and I haven't worn ear rings in years and they never grow back. I don't feel like my mom abused me either. I don't have a baby but personally I wouldn't peirce my baby's ears until she was old enough to ask me for it. What do you think?
