The dark side of the Girl Scouts
You should be aware of the Planned Parenthood mentality and connection with the Girl Scouts. You local leader may be a great family oriented leader but you need to see what is going on nationally and internationally.
Townhall reports by Kathryn Lopez:
I’ve seen more than a few boxes of Do-Si-Dos and Samoas around lately. It’s hard to look askance at the Girl Scouts when there’s so much sweetness in the air. But there is reason for keeping the Girl Scouts out of the “mom and apple pie” category. For one thing, the organization has a think tank, a nongovernmental organization and a welcome mat out to Planned Parenthood.
At a meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women this month, the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides held a session for young people in which the International Planned Parenthood Federation distributed a brochure about living with HIV titled “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” (Gratitude to U.N. watchdogs like C-FAM for keeping an eye out for such nefarious nonsense.)
The brochure sets itself up as a feel-good guide for dangerous behavior. “Young people living with HIV may feel that sex is just not an option, but don’t worry — many young people living with HIV live healthy, fun, happy and sexually fulfilling lives. You can, too, if you want to! Things get easier (and sex can get even better) as you become more comfortable with your status.”
And since there is considerable sexual advice offered, advice on “safe abortion” naturally follows in the brochure.
This presentation served as a backdrop for a joint statement from the several U.N. organizations making up the U.N. Adolescent Girls Task Force. The task force declares its support for programs “that empower … adolescent girls, particularly those aged 10 to 14 years.” No innocence preserved.
The United Nations doesn’t surprise me so much, but the Girl Scouts continue to greatly disappoint. About a decade ago, I wrote a piece for National Review called “The Cookie Crumbles,” about things that could surprise moms and dads helping their daughter work on her Brownie badges. While the Boy Scouts have been under attack by politically correct watchdogs, the Girl Scouts have escaped censure by embracing leftist politics, reproductive permissiveness and secularism. It’s been a long slide to sex-prep work for the U.N.
