Girl Scout Entanglement with Planned Parenthood--Again

Well, well, well! So Girl Scout leadership is promoting Planned Parenthood’s sex agenda for children. The most recent entanglement has been the World Association of Girl Scouts, under the auspices of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, promotion of a new publication from International Planned Parenthood Federation. This flashy and vile publication entitled “Healthy, Happy, and Hot” (click here to see and print) is targeted to children living with HIV. (In one way, this is a resource for our side. I know of no other Planned Parenthood publication that lays out its despicable agenda for children with such brevity and clarity. PLEASE read every word of “Healthy, Happy, and Hot” and show others just what Planned Parenthood stands for.)

PROLIFEFOOTSOLDIER. In February 2004, Pro-Life Waco launched a boycott of local Girl Scout cookies sales with 60-second spots on a Christian radio station. Our local Bluebonnet Girl Scout Council had been deeply involved with Planned Parenthood of Central Texas. The alliance had two dimensions. First, the Bluebonnet Council co-sponsored Planned Parenthood's summer sex promotion conference for children called Nobody's Fool. You can see the Girl Scout logo on the Nobody’s Fool 2003 flyer here. Second, the Bluebonnet Council honored the executive director of Planned Parenthood of Central Texas (Pam Smallwood) as a woman of distinction to be a role model for local Girl Scout cookie entrepreneurs. Planned Parenthood of Central Texas has operated an abortuary in Waco since 1994--killing approximately 600 potential Girl Scouts and 600 potential Boy Scouts each year. Click here to see an article in the Waco Tribune-Herald on the honor for Planned Parenthood’s abortion entrepreneur.

Our boycott was successful in pressuring the Bluebonnet Girl Scout Council to cut all ties with Planned Parenthood of Central Texas. You can read about the Girl Scout surrender here.

The Girl Scout Cookie Boycott of 2004 also resulted in national publicity. My interview on Hannity and Combs can be seen here. I was also interviewed on the NBC Today Show along with the executive director Girl Scouts of America, Kathy Cloninger. You can view the fireworks here. The Today Show interview makes it clear that Girl Scouts of America would NOT follow the lead of the Bluebonnet Council in divorcing Planned Parenthood. Ms. Cloninger boldly states that Girl Scouts in other areas of the country and nationally would continue to partner with Planned Parenthood. So, the partnering continues from local communities all the way up to the United Nations.

Another 2004 interview on Fox News featured Patti Garibay, Executive Director of American Heritage Girls. Click here to see the interview. American Heritage Girls is a wholesome alternative to the secular and relativist Girl Scouts of America. AHG holds strongly to Christian and patriotic values. Here is the website for American Heritage Girls. This is one of the great options for having a wonderful scouting experience for your daughter, granddaughter, or your church WITHOUT Girl Scouts.

Pro-Life Waco created quite an uproar with the Girl Scout Cookie Boycott of 2004. You can find much more about this initiative at the Pro-Life Waco website by clicking here. You will find more news articles, additional radio and television interviews, the radio spots, and much more on the disturbing realities of Girls Scouts and Planned Parenthood.

The nationwide Girl Scout cookie sale for 2010 is winding down. Should we consider an alliance of pro-life organizations for “fast and abstinence” from cookie consumption in 2011? I don't have a clear plan on how to make this happen. The current controversy is on a broader scale than one local community. In 2004, we did send tremors through Girl Scouts locally and nationally. And, we educated many parents about these two secular organizations promoting an anything-goes morality. Is there any reason why we can't bring this rumble to the national and world stage?
