And more to the point, are you accusing me of being pro-abortion because my wife served for a year on the local Girl Scouts board?

If the GSA's support for abortion was known before joining the local GS board, even for just a year, than this would be indicative of a level of comfort with abortion being available, and sometimes promoted.

(There's a whole lot of that going around the country - it's easy to be in a sort of truce with abortion, and it is painful to put everything on the line - popularity, the need to leave groups and churches, etc. - to actually END the damnable act.)

If the GSA's support for abortion wasn't known beforehand, than in no way does it make any statement about support for abortion.

There are a whole lot of people in the former camp. I hope you're not, maybe you are, only you and God really know.

But if we could get the people in the latter group to change their comfort level and hold maniacally fast against the storm of abortion, the odds we could actually get rid of it would go way up.

We didn’t know about the things the national GSA did until aftermy wife joined the board of the local Girl Scouts group, and she left after one year. But in that year her local board never faced any decision that touched upon abortion in any way, and had she stayed on the board another year it wouldn’t have reflected on her views on abortion, much less on *my* views on abortion.

McConnell’s wife joined a group that does a million different things, and since she’s been there ithere hasn’t been any anti-coal initiative come before the board. Maybe having her on the board has steered the group away from anti-coal activities (just like having pro-lifer Karen Handel on the board of that Komen breast-cancer group led to the group defunding Planned Parenthood, only to yield to blackmail and fund PP again, which caused Handel to resign), but in any event it is silly to say that McConnell is anti-coal, despite his 30-year record in support of the industry, just because his wife joined a group that in the past had supported an anti-coal initiative.
