Aren't these guys supposed to be threatening to kill abortion doctors or something? Anti-Abortion groups lead boycott of Girl Scout Cookies. Because there aren't enough crazy/stupid people in the world yet.
Parents were upset to learn [from emails and ads from Pro-Life Waco] that the local Girl Scout organization had given a "woman of distinction award" last year to a Planned Parenthood executive. And they were disturbed to find out that the Girl Scout organization has been giving its endorsement for years to a Planned Parenthood sex-ed program in which girls and boys are given literature on homosexuality, masturbation and condoms.
Please note that the Girl Scouts aren't attending these sex-ed classes or being sent the literature. It's a bit like how Dubya's grandad had connections with the Nazis.
"It's not that we're a bunch of activists. We're just a bunch of moms who care about their kids," said Lisa Aguilar, who took her 10-year-old daughter out of her eight-member Girl Scout troop. "For us, it's the morality. Where is Girl Scouts going?"
Obviously it's better to nip this thing in the bug now rather than when their girls ask for help sewing on their 'prostitution' and 'back-alley abortion with coathanger' badges.
Some 400 to 700 fifth- through ninth-graders attend the half-day Nobody's Fool conference in Waco each July. The program never mentions abortion, according to Planned Parenthood. The youngsters receive a book with chapters on homosexuality and masturbation, as well as illustrations of couples having sex, people examining their naked bodies and a boy putting on a condom. Some Girl Scout mothers called it soft-core porn. "It embarrassed me to look at it with my husband," said parent Shannon Donaldson.
She must have been fun on the wedding night. I'm impressed that she's a parent.
"Our girls have been through a lot these past three weeks," said Jennifer Smith, who quit as leader of Girl Scout Troop 7527 and removed her daughter. "After I told my 10-year-old daughter that they are supporting some things that are not morally right, she understood."
"Then I told her that she is cursed for all time for Eve's sin and that periods are God's way of showing her she is unclean. She seemed a lot happier then." [via Mordant Carnival]
