When the Bluebonnet Council in Texas was distributing pornographic PP material to girl scouts as young as the seventh grade, a Freeper Girl Scout mom took me to task for bringing it up on FR, saying not everything had to do with “politics” and that I shouldn’t bash an organization that was mainly about young girls having fun.
After fuming for a bit, I posted back to her, citing a news story that said the book distributed to the girls had a detailed illustration in it showing how to apply a condom to a man’s penis. I then said that if a main came up to my daughter and I on the street and showed her a picture of a penis, I would not ask about his party affiliation while I was dialing 911 with my boot on his neck.
Locally the connection between Girl Scouts, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women is not a well-kept secret at all. These organizations sponsor women's conferences together and are all in the Nevada Women's Lobby, which essentially lobbies for left wing causes and the perpetual raising of taxes under the guise of “helping women and children”. Still, most parents who have their daughters involved in Girl Scouts aren't aware of their organizations heavy ties with Planned Parenthood and NOW.
We trusted the Boy Scouts and could highly recommend that organization, but knowing what we knew about the local Girl Scouts, we refused to allow our daughter to be involved.
Was that the controversy that involved Pam Smallwood (you can google that name with Texas and Girl Scouts for background info) several years back? Smallwood was an exec with a Central TX PP, and is now a very high mucky muck at one of the most productive abortion clinics in the world in Austin.
