"Last week, the American Family Association and the Pro-Life Action League accused American Girl of promoting abortion and supporting lesbians because of their fund-raising campaign for Girls Inc."
First she say that pro-life groups are 'accusing' American Girl of promoting Abortion and Supporting Lesbianism.
"What these extremists don't like is that Girls Inc. also offers comprehensive sex education, supports women's right to reproductive freedom and urges tolerance toward lesbians."
Then she goes right on ahead and proves they were right..
Don't these people even listen to what they say?
First, no these people don't listen to what they say. They just spew. If they did, they might realize how utterly inane and self-contradictory so much of their verbiage is.
Second, as I recall from some former years back in Cleveland, this article is very 'Plain Dealer':
Set a warm, family type tone via an apparently traditional, cozy type narrative, filled with pathos; have some evil, extremist, conservative intruder come and attack the innocent, fuzzy scene you've painted; mercilessly vilify those mean-spirited conservatives for having the nerve to question the noble, sensitive, tolerant and "inclusive" little world you've depicted; all while completely and utterly glossing over the central and salient issue:
...that the organization in question does, in fact, actively fund and promote abortion, homosexuality and, therefore, the left's idea of what "sex education" should be about. They see no contradiction in all this because they simply assume their views are RIGHT - and the rest of us are just stupid or despicable for daring to disagree.
