Pelosi: Planned Parenthood Relationship to Girl Scouts Very Valuable By Elizabeth Harrington February 1, 2012
(CNSNews.com) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Planned Parenthoods relationship with the Girl Scouts of America is very valuable, Wednesday, at a congressional reception to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the organization for young girls.
Rep. Pelosi was featured at the reception with a group of female government leaders to promote the Girl Scouts new initiative To Get Her There, which seeks to create gender balanced leadership in one generation.
After the event CNSNews.com asked Pelosi: The Girl Scouts has had some ties to Planned Parenthood, do you think thats a valuable relationship to have working together?
The Girl Scouts have relationships with many organizations, Rep. Pelosi replied.
And, yes, I think they are all very valuable.
The Girl Scouts have been linked to the nations largest abortion provider in the past. In 2010, a panel sponsored by the Girl Scouts USA at the United Nations Commission featured a Planned Parenthood pamphlet called Healthy, Happy and Hot," according to published reports.
A portion of the pamphlet read: Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse. But there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking and cuddling. Some people like to have aggressive sex, while others like to have soft sex and slow sex with their partners. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!

As a Catholic, I continue to be embarrassed at all the fake Democrat Catholics that populate high positions in our government.
I find it ironic that some of the biggest abortion advocates present some of strongest reasons for (at least) SOME abortions.
Pathetic. . .
They are probably Catholic in the sense that they were “born Catholic”, not that they actually accepted Christ into their lives or have any sort of relationship with him. They are simply CINO (Catholic in name only)
Are you effin’ kidding me? Now, more than ever, I am convinced to never enroll my daughter in this cesspool.
When confronted by little girls who hit me up to buy cookies, I always smile and say “No, thank you.”
What I’m thinking is another story. I’m thinking how I’d like to set their mothers straight on how there is a direct link between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. And that I’ll NEVER buy no damm cookies from any organization that has ties to baby murderers.
But I just smile and say “No, thank you.”
At least for now....
Girl Scouts does not have “ties” to Planned Parenthood anymore that do an entire body of nonprofit organizations all attending the same conferences and whose membership is all exposed to the same literature and references, which does not transfer to endorsement.
Pelosi again stuck her stupid foot in her stupid mouth. She would have babbled the same answer if asked about Vatican “ties to planned parenthood” by mutual membership in UN organizations, NGO’s and international nonprofits
CNS is on a peculiar vendetta against Girl Scouts.
Howz’ ‘bout Condom Cookies? Little cookies shaped like a new condom. Great for little girls, huh?
Haven’t bought any of these high priced and “growing smaller each year” cookies for many years because of this. Disgusting. Anyone and everyone whose daughters are in any way involved in Girl Scouts should be ashamed of themselves.
Where'ya been? Are you serious?
There is no direct link between Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood.
Now, maybe there is a direct link between your church (if not Catholic, nuns excepted) and planned parenthood. The Red Cross and planned parenthood. The UN and planned parenthood. The NEA and other teachers unions and the labor and other unions and planned parenthood. The democrat party of the US and planned parenthood. All govt subsidized hospitals and universities and planned parenthood. The federal taxes you pay and planned parenthood.
But why don’t you just set us all “straight” on this direct link with Girl Scouts. I bet you read about it on the internet, huh?
HUH.
Have you not seen all the facts about this and stories about their relationship in the last month or even done a search?
Such as?
I would respond with a “WTF??” comment.
But I see you are rather dense on the issue and other FReepers have already attempted to set you straight.
So rather than provide you with links on the GS/PP connection - I’ll just let you happily bask in your own ignorance.
Or have a coat hanger in each box of cookies. They’ll have the color of the month and special, collectible, limited-edition coat hangers that are hand-made by Chinese convicts who are later slaughtered for organ harvesting!
Been in Girl Scouts for 50+ years.
Prove a “direct link”.
Cite facts.
References to family planning resources in books for teens, about teenage health issues? Good luck with purging that.
Abortion is legal in this country and part of any dialogue among teens.
One might say good people talking about it, not ignoring it, is the way to persuade girls to feel free to abhor it.
Tangential presence of teen Girl Scout reps at a UN conference meeting several years where sex literature from a 3rd party was left in the room? Bad but unplanned.
Stupid comment in 2004 by former GSUSA CEO Cloninger about GS “partnerships” in “many communities”? She is gone. Misspoke, and becoming ancient history except to CNS.
“Come here my little prettys”
yes
Have you addressed this directly with Girl Scout officials?
(crickets)
I have
curious, is that cross dresser still in charge of the girl scouts or did it move on?

Is that all you got?
LOL.
No facts, so shoot and duck.
Buh bye.
ah yes I have, my daughter pulled herself out of it and we addressed it to the leader
She too had no idea but did some research and now is thinking of dropping the troop.
BTW She is a very nice conservative lady but she said she felt sick the the stomach when she did her own research.
I hope this video of the CEO of the Girl Scouts saying they partner with Planned Parenthood to bring information based sex education to girls acceptable...even if I found it on that darned internet.
http://www.lifenews.com/2012/01/27/girl-scouts-in-dc-respond-to-planned-parenthood-link-charges/
Back at ya, troll.
See post 22.
Wonder how many potential girl scouts got sliced up and sucked out.
Bet they would like to have had some input on this “choice”.
I see you were already aware of the quote which you claim was stupid and “she misspoke”.
Pardon me for believing the CEO of the Girl Scouts.
and what church is that?
does it have ties to any national or international organizations that have “ties” to family planning? All are extremely liberal (why I left)
and so do the Jews from what I know.
How about Salvation Army? Red Cross? UN? Ties to PP.
Your church immmunize its work from their agencies and literature?
If you want to find ties between PP and virtually any organization (some you are part of), you can do it
Did you READ the article I gave you? You are not responding to it at all....just more fluffy comments. Broken record.
Have you even noticed that all those stories in those links refer repeatedly to the same 3 things?
GSUSA CEO Kathy Cloninger’s stupid comments in 2004. She is gone.
That UN youth conference in 2010 where a non-GS organzation left shockingly distasteful youth sex literature in the room where the GS were among teens attending a meeting. Literature not produce by, distributed by, or planned for the conference by GS.
References to family planning topics and links for teenage girls to research in teenage womens health literature. As if this constituted GS promotion of abortion anymore that similar literature at schools, colleges, doctors offices and even many churches.
Is that all they got?
What is the anger really about?
I do fault GS for trying so hard to become “socially relevant” and “hip” to teenage girls and doing way too much touchy feely “leadership” “girl power” workshop crap ... and closing down too many camps.
You lost me. All the girls scouts I knew when I was a kid had plenty of hangers, and they already knew how to hang their coats. I suspect the same is true for the 8 year olds I see selling cookies now. So why would they include coat hangers?
The answer straight from GIRL SCOUT HQ IS
Girl Scouts HAS NO DIRECT TIES TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
We are a federated organization
The Councils are free to make their own relationships and partnerships, as part of the United Way and other nonprofit community participants.
Nation's Capitol and Baltimore Councils, which is where cookie money that does not go direct to the troops stays, HAVE NO TIES TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD. NONE. NADA. ZIP.
Furthermore, we GS Troops and Councils don't make donations. We receive them.
The priest in the parish cited in the article was obviously confused if quoted correctly, because “WAGGGS” (World Associationof Girl Scouts and Girl Guides) is the international Scouting organzation based in London. Yes, we are members of the international organization of 145 countires that have GS and GG.
But so is Boy Scouts a member of a World Scouting Organization that embraces homosexuals and mixed sex troops, unlike BSUSA.
The international scouting organizations for boys and for girls are very liberal, dominated by europeans and growing 3rd worlders (surprise), and heavily tied to the United Nations agenda.
Mostly, I and every other leader I know....ignores them, and mostly ignores National too.
Maybe they get $2 of our $12 annual GSUSA membership fee.
One final fluffy ill-informed comment from me. Did you know England has more girls joined in Boy Scouts (now just called Scouts) than it does boys? It ain't Robert Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts ay more.
read what I just posted
Just Go ogle the words ‘coat hanger’ and ‘abortion’ together and see what you find.

There is a difference between purging it and the Girl Scouts PROMOTING it.
Abortion is legal in this country and part of any dialogue among teens.
I guess we should be grateful that the Girl Scouts weren't around to promote slavery.
One might say good people talking about it, not ignoring it, is the way to persuade girls to feel free to abhor it.
Is this your way of saying that abortion should be "safe and legal and rare" or that it's "above your paygrade"?
Tangential presence of teen Girl Scout reps at a UN conference meeting several years where sex literature from a 3rd party was left in the room? Bad but unplanned.
The UN's agenda is hardly a secret. If the Girl Scout reps didn't know they should have.

Pelosi also said: ‘Planned Parenthood is nice to have associated wth the Girl Scouts in case a boy who thinks he’s a girl decides to try lesbian sex while camping and makes the girl pregnant.’/s

Responsibility2nd has links about the connection between Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood; I'm pinging both lists because GS also teach and promote all kinds of leftist immoral agendas including premarital/extramarital sex and homosexuality. They AREN'T your grandmother's Girl Scouts.
Oops - I had an open window ready to post and went and did things, and came back and hit “post”.
It’s a good thread with good info, so I guess it’s okay!
Cite facts? Howz' this? Direct link:

Among other things, the article says this: "In recent years, the Girl Scouts have tacked left, and criticism has mountedover their programs and their partnerships with Americas leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.
(As an aside, the Scouts mislead families and churches into believing that they have no relationship with Planned Parenthood at any level) They maintain that Girl Scouts of the USA [i.e. the national office] does not have a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood, but say nothing about the many local Girl Scout councils that do partner with Planned Parenthood and its teen subsidiaries.
Concerned Scouts and their parents have publicized and documented the Girl Scouts liberal bent. And theyve asked for changes.
The Girl Scouts consistently respond as if the reported problems are small brush fires that erupt sporadically because people are careless. And they project the impression that these brush fires would die out on their own, but for the hysterical bystandersconservatives, of coursewho shriek at the first wisp of smoke."
Then add to that that the national office brags (did I say brag?) that 85% of their staff are lesbians, and you can see (if you really want to) that the whole organization is corrupt as hell.
And by the way, the statement you made about abortion being legal, well, so was slavery. Each and every abortion is premeditated murder upon the most helpless of unborn Americans. Too bad you feel as you do. There used to be Christianity in Girl Scouts . . . but not no more! Huh?
Embarrassed? Frightened is more like it. I wish the Bishops would speak out more against Catholics who support abortion and same sex marriage. How come they continue to receive the Eucharist?
The Bishops waited to speak out on these issues until the horse was out of the barn. Maybe if we had heard more from them earlier,Obama wouldn’t have had the nerve to remove the conscience claus from ObamaCare.
“As a Catholic, I continue to be embarrassed at all the fake Democrat Catholics that populate high positions in our government.”
I am embarrassed that neither the last pope nor this one has declared them anathema.
The filth of the butcher ...

Vladimir Lenin would be proud of Madam Pelosi - not as in “madam speaker,” but as a Madam trying to indoctrinate and prostitute young girls for Planned Parenthood.
WASHINGTON, February 2, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - When asked about Girl Scouts of Americas (GSUSA) connections to Planned Parenthood, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that the relationship between the two groups is very valuable.
CNSNews.com asked the former House Speaker following a Girl Scouts-sponsored event, The Girl Scouts has had some ties to Planned Parenthood, do you think thats a valuable relationship to have working together?
The Girl Scouts have relationships with many organizations, and, yes, I think they are all very valuable, Pelosi replied.
Pelosi had been featured at the reception to promote To Get Her There, a new initiative by GSUSA to promote womens leadership. While the national branch of Girl Scouts has recently been denying the organizations relationship with Planned Parenthood, on March 5, 2004 Girl Scouts CEO Kathy Cloninger admitted on NBCs The Today Show: We partner with many organizations. We have relationships with Planned Parenthood organizations across the country.
In national survey in 2004, sixteen Girl Scout councils admitted to partnering with Planned Parenthood, around 25% of the councils who responded to the survey. Most did not respond, however.
The Girl Scouts/Planned Parenthood controversy erupted anew in 2010 after it was revealed that the scouting group distributed a graphic sex education pamphlet by Planned Parenthood entitled Happy, Healthy, and Hot during an event at the United Nations headquarters. Last month, a Catholic parish in Virginia banned the Girl Scouts from meeting on church grounds over the Planned Parenthood connection.
In January a teenage Girl Scout employee who wore a Pray to End Abortion t-shirt to work during off-duty hours was ordered to turn the t-shirt inside out or leave.
