National Boycott of Girl Scout Cookies Highlights Ties to Planned Parenthood
http://www.lifenews.com ^ | January 30, 2014 | Eric Scheidler

The Pro-Life Action League is joining a nationwide boycott being organized by John Pisciotta of Pro-Life Waco, in Waco, Texas, who has been battling the Girl Scouts for years over their ties to abortion giant Planned Parenthood.

This year’s nationwide boycott was triggered by the Girl Scout’s glowing praise last year for two of the pro-life movement’s greatest foes: Texas state senator Wendy Davis and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The Girl Scouts called Davis as an “incredible” woman who deserved to be on a list of 2013 “Women of the Year,” only a few weeks after calling Kathleen Sebelius a woman of “courage” and “character.”

girlscouts5Davis rose to national fame for filibustering a Texas law banning late term abortions and requiring abortion facilities to adhere to safety standards, while wearing a pair of pink sneakers. Sebelius is responsible for implementing the pro-abortion provisions of Obamacare, including the infamous HHS Mandate that forces employers to provide free abortion-inducing drugs in their health plans, regardless of any religious or moral objections

I have not gave a cent to the Girl Scouts since their hostile takeover by radical lesbians, who were the primary cause of the Girl Scouts supporting Planned Deathhood.

I will let them know when they come to the door. In a nice way of course.

Had they been smart, they’d have kept their support for baby butchering quiet until AFTER the cookie sale.

We have not supported the Gay Scouts or Abortion Scouts since the Left has taken them over.

My feelings exactly, although it does take a little moral internal pep talk to continue walking by those little girls when they are parked in front of local stores.

I’ve heard that most money from local girl scout cookie sales stays with local troops for their local activities. Don’t know if that’s true, but if so, could help us all decide if we want to contribute or not.

You mean I was not supposed to buy that box of cookies from the neighbor girl that knocked on my door?

Most of the local activities do not promote healthy and wholesome womanhood. (Just as most local activities for Boy Scouts do not promote manhood anymore.)

1880s abortionist. Obviously not well liked.

Wonder if they are also going to Boycott the Boy Scout Pop Corn Sales for Scout National Council caving in to the Gays?

There’s still a tacit support for abortion though so I will still continue walking. Whether or not I comment to a parent would be dependent on my mood. I’m in Mass. so I’d likely get attacked by a dozen women, 6 would probably be lesbians, and the rest used to be men.

Same as the BSA, I will not contribute one dime to them. Every cent gets split between my local Church, Salvation Army, St. Jude's, and the Lions Club.

When you align yourself with baby killers and homosexual activists you don't need a cent of my support.

You have to draw the line somewhere. Yes?

Instead of just being nice to them when they show up to sell their cookies why not print up the 100 questions for Girl Scouts and hand it to them?

I think it would be more effective to let the national leadership know why you won’t be buying any more cookies.

“I will let them know when they come to the door. In a nice way of course.”

Geez, wish I had known about the boycott sooner as I’ve already eaten at least a dozen boxes. Woulda save me some pounds for sure :) seriously though, I’m not in for punishing a bunch of little girls for their parents stupidly. So, guess I’ll keep eating on those cookies....

Yes, what do you say to little girls in uniforms at your door trying to sell cookies?

“Sorry, I can’t buy your merchandise, and that’s based upon your organization’s social and political agendas, the details of which you’re not even old enough to understand yet.”

But maybe...just ONE box of Caramel DeLites won’t break the bank....
