"American Girl" Supports Planned Parenthood!?!

Posted on 10/11/2005 10:09:57 AM PDT by ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton

My wife is giving me information soon, which I'll post when I get it indicating that the publisher of books for young girls and the maker of several lines of expensive dolls and accessories is raising funds for Planned Parenthood.

I wonder if they will come out with a line of books about "Heather" who can't grow up in the 70's because she was killed in the womb.

I have an American Girl catalog sitting next to me at this moment that I was going to give to one of my daughters for her little girl. Guess I know where it's going now. I can't afford those dolls anyway. $90 for a doll? $20 for 1 outfit?

Maybe American Girl out to make an AMerican Girl Abortion Baby Doll with fake blood and mutilated baby. Instead of the Doll house they can sell an Abortion Mill. Instead of the Travel Trailor the can sell a Bus that goess through poor Black Neighborhood doll town looking for those wanting free services back at the Abortion Mill.

Whatcha think?

Aw, cheez. My girlies just started reading this series and I like them.

Why do they always have to go wreck a good product with dumb ass politicking?

Aargh!

I don't like this. I have enrolled my grand-daughter in the "American Girl" club, started her American Girls doll collection when she was barely able to stand, and encouraged her in all things American Girl. I shall have to write the company and complain. I don't want my 9 year old grand-daughter exposed the sh___ that organization puts out.

I'll have to actually see that before I believe it. We've been reading AG books and some have a very strong pro-Christian message. Not evangelical by any means, but some of the historical stories nclude God, family prayer, etc. That being said, it wouldn't be the first time that a moral, family-oriented became corrupted with the arrival of a new CEO or whatever.

well your wife is "giving you information", isn't that special! Do you know what gossip is? Do you know why guys that engage in it are considered "girls" where I come from.

Have you nothing better to do with you time? Do you know what vetting is. Do you open your mouth often without thinking?

Inquiring minds what to know??

Pleasant Rowland sold Pleasant Company to Mattel a few years ago. Boycott Mattel!

I went to web site and with the exception of supporting United Way, I do not see their support of Planned Parenthood.
Where is your information coming from? If it true ... ahhhh because I really love the books.

Are you sure it's not the Girl Scouts that you are referring to? I understand they are actively in partnership with Planned Parenthood.

Unless it's through United Way (which is possible) it's not trumpeted on their web site.

No kidding. People here often seem to jump to ridiculous conclusions on every "boycott" thread. And this one isn't even documented. Settle down, people.

So many folks fly off the handle on the most sparse information sometimes! Unless there is PROOF, informations like this shouldn't be spread around. It's calumny!

Well, being Planned Parenthood is like a cancer aborting mosty Black and Brown babies in the inner cities, those dolls better all be of color.

Planned Parenthood from what I read was started by a woman who hated black people, Margaret Sanger.

On blacks, immigrants and indigents:
"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people.

On sterilization & racial purification:
Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

On the right of married couples to bear children:
Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review, April 1932

On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:
"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

IF American Girl has aligned itself with Planned Parenthood in any way, it will be the biggest blunder a corporation has made in a long time. It will also indicate that they have no idea who their 'base' is, and I find it hard to believe that such a successful company would do something so stupid.

I've been to the AG store in Chicago several times, and ya just gotta hand it to anyone who can find a niche like they have. The tea room has high chairs for little girls' AG dolls. There is a doll hospital and a doll hair salon. There is a theater featuring an American Girls musical. Your little girl can dress exactly like her doll for any occasion, including Halloween costumes. The whole concept is a stunning example of American ingenuity and capitalism in action.

Dd isn't going to get one of those dolls until she can show me that she can take care of her $6 Barbies, which usually end up naked and dismembered.
