American Girl Plays Down Ties to Pro-Abortion Group After Criticism
New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- American Girl, the makers of a popular line of children's dolls, has lowered the profile of its partnership with a pro-abortion group following national criticism. A pro-life organization that has helped lead opposition says the company is removing some of its links to Girls Inc., a group that helps girls with self-esteem and scholastic issues but also backs abortion.
"American Girl, maker of American Girl Dolls, must be receiving enough calls and emails to cause them considerable consternation," says Ann Scheidler, director of the Pro-Life Action League. Scheidler says American Girl is already "de-emphasizing" the "I Can" bracelets they're selling in conjunction with Girls Inc.
While official statements from the doll manufacturer say they're not going to discontinue the project, which has proceeds from the sale of the bracelets go to the pro-abortion group, Scheidler says it appears they're trying to play down its importance. Meanwhile, Scheidler adds that her group will call for a national boycott if American Girl doesn't officially end the partnership. Read the complete story.

Diago has a thread on that from, yesterday?
I'm really sad about this. My daughter had a nice collection.
I'm not adding to it anymore.
I've opted out of their mailing, I've faxed them a number of threads to see our dismay and I've forwarded all articles to my email list.
