f you are a federal taxpayer you support Planned Parenthood to a far greater extent than the Girl Scouts or any other group that receives grants and funding from nonprofits and corporations

If you have children in school taught by teachers who are part of a teacher’s Union, that union supports Planned Parenthood. Ditto if you have any relatives who are employed by large unions- all tied to PP
Churches?
How about World and National Council of Churches? And other religious organizations? Does your church support Planned Parenthood and other liberal causes? Heres an ad for Jewish Women volunteers for PP.

How about businesses and corporations? Your bank? Your investment company? Any of them provide any donations or funding that finds its way directly or indirectly to Planned Parenthood? Purchase or enjoy any items today produced by Kraft Foods, Nabisco, big pharma? AT&T? Exxon? Congrats, you supported PP

My point is, if the Catholic Church (and other churches) cannot even fence itself off from PP, how is any national girls organization supposed to immunize itself from the abortion culture in this society?
As a 6-year volunteer, I believe we do a good job of maintaining GS traditional values at the GS troop level!
And what one “Mom” calls “child labor” we call “earning your own way” which is why GS have been selling cookies to fund their own troops for many decades! The profit margin per troop is not 10%, more like 20%+ depending on incentives. The girls set their own goals and budget for using their troop money (unless they have a poorly trained leader). And the cookie money goes to the troops and Councils, not to National, which gets royalties from the logo and branding.
At least 10% of the cookies sold by girls in my community get donated to homeless shelters, military troops, nursing homes etc. No one there complains. The girls vote who they donate to.
