No, and I'd probably wager that most new born children are circumsized. The choice is the parents to make; the church doesn't have a position.

What? This is a new one for me.
I was born in a strict mormon family (father's side) and had NEVER heard anything about mormons being uncircumcised!!
Is this new or what?

Male members are advised not to touch their "little" factory", so they generally do not have any idea what circumcised means.
No similar instructions have been given to the sisters, but the prospect of being eternally pregnant appears to be appealing to them.
Exactly how this will occur remains a lively topic that is never discussed in the first place by the Brethren, who have also issued edicts (no pun) on precisely where and how this "little factory" is to be used.

no, in the Doctrine and Covenants and Book of Mormon it says you don't need to circumcise but people still do it sometimes to be clean and other things. It's free choice completely.

As others have stated, it's more of a personal decision, not a "doctrine" of the church.

Depends. But there's no official position on the subject.
