I accept that..can you explain it to me. I read the article, but I'm still missing something. It's hard to raise a daughter in this day and age; tryng to constantly counter all the horrible, immoral messages thrown at her from one end of the day to the next. I feel crappy now that I look back at the hours and hours we spent together on her bedroom floor, reading the American Girl books and playing with the dolls. It was one of her fondest memories as a child, now she's in college and doing well, and standing up for her beliefs. I guess I better look further into this. I mean no offense to you or anyone. I'm sincerely torn.

Part of the problem is that the article deliberately misrepresents the AFA's position. There's no problem with the dolls themselves, it's support of other organizations that the company is aligning itself with.

No reason to feel bad. Time spent reading to your daughter was well spent. The American Girl books are not bad in themselves. It is just now that they decided to link up and promote a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian organization that you should refrain from supporting them any longer (if you so choose). We have stopped supporting disney for about 8 years now and have told all family and friends Not to buy Anything for our girls from Disney. We still have some of their older movies from before we knew what agenda they were advancing, we didn't throw them away.
