Girl Scouts Suggest Abortion Activist Wendy Davis for “Woman of the Year”

Who should young girls grow up to be like? If you listen to the Girl Scouts, the answer is apparently they should aspire to become Wendy Davis, the state legislator whose sole claim to fame is standing up against a bill to stop abortions all the way to birth in Texas.

On December 18, 2013, Girl Scouts USA tweeted: “Incredible Ladies Who Should Be Women of the Year for 2013” and asking if anyone should be added to the list.

Is there anyone you’d add to this list? Incredible Ladies Who Should Be Women Of The Year For 2013 http://t.co/r6MAzSH0ZK via @HuffPostWomen

— Girl Scouts (@girlscouts) December 18, 2013

The link goes to a column by the liberal Huffington Post, which promotes Davis and pro-abortion activist Gloria Steinem as potential women of the year. Are these really the kind of women the Girl Scouts want young girls to grow up to be?

Perhaps so. Christy Volanski, a mother of two former Girl Scouts who created the website Speak Now Girl Scouts to expose the link between the group and the Planned Parenthood abortion business, explains the Girl Scouts have long ties to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

“As a concerned pro-lifer who supported the Girl Scout organization for many years, as a girl member and as a troop leader, it saddens me to share the fall of this once venerable organization that to this day retains the support of so many wonderful women and girls, many of whom are unaware of what they are actually supporting. But families deserve to know the truth,” she said. “There are a lot of accusations in the blogosphere about the Girl Scouts. Some are fact, like the Girl Scout organization works alongside abortion providers and funds/promotes abortion rights advocacy groups.”

Proves the old adage that any group or institution not expressively Conservative will be co-opted by Leftists and used for their agenda.

Just a note here, the Girl Scouts have never had ban on lesbian troop leaders so this is not surprising.

“The Girl Scouts took God out of their mandate a long time ago.”

They certainly were silent while the Boy Scouts were pilloried for opposing homosexual counselors.

Hey, girls, let’s honor someone who is in favor of killing little girls! (Boys, too, but we know they don’t count.)

Are there still bright parents who have no idea how despicable the Girls Scouts are?
