After opposing pro-life health care access for all through
the Affordable Care Act, isn't it time “pro-life” activists say enough is enough. Really, Pro-Life Wisconsin is now going after the Girl Scouts too?
In what is a cooked up campaign of anti-Planned Parenthood swill,
Pro-Life Wisconsin along with its national chain of zealots, has now determined the Girl Scouts
are bloody accomplices to killer doctors.

| They want you to buying this too! |
Pro-Life Wisconsin is asking its members to reconsider
purchasing Girl Scout cookies, saying the organization is too closely linked to
the abortion rights movement. In an email to supporters Monday, Pro-Life
Wisconsin said that "while some local troops' activities may be wholesome,
sadly, Girl Scouts USA promotes radically, anti-life women, such as Planned
Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, as role models, regularly partners with
pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood for 'educational' activities, and
encourages girls to fight for abortion on demand."
As usual, Pro-life Wisconsin doesn't need to have its fact
straight, because it’s the smear campaign and public intimidation that’s most
important to them. From WKOW:
Think twice though, says Pro-Life Wisconsin:
"They get involve in promoting, and advocating for women's reproductive rights. And we know what that exactly stands for."
And we know they shouldn't obviously have those rights. Hey how about a lie?
Pro-Life Wisconsin told its supporters that
"approximately 15 percent of each box sold goes to the troop. The rest
goes to the regional and national organizations of Girl Scouts USA."
That's not true, said Christy Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the
Badgerland Council … No portion of cookie proceeds goes to the national Girl
Scouts organization, she said. Of the $3.75 per-box retail price, about $2 goes
to the regional council to pay for programming costs. While the organization's
112 regional councils do provide funding for the national Girl Scouts of the
USA, that money comes from a portion of registration fees (not the cookies).
Still want to give them your money via a state sanctioned license
plate? Proving you don’t have to be too
smart to be a part of this cult, state director Peggy Hamill made this dumbfounding
comment about the actual allocation of money:
Told of this, Peggy Hamill, Pro-Life Wisconsin's state
director, said "our concerns still stand. Money is fungible. Regardless of whether it's actually
the cookie money supporting the national Girl Scouts, we know that money goes
from the regional councils to the national organization."
That's right, keep any of the educational elements away from the Scouts. From
CBSLA:
Peggy Hamill, State Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin: "The Obama administration's decision to grant entitlement status to contraception is thoroughly ideological. It is not medical. Pregnancy is not a disease. Fertility is a natural state - it is not a health impairment to be treated medically with birth control. Birth control to prevent pregnancy is not health care - it's a lifestyle choice. Accordingly, government should not force insurance companies, businesses and individual policy holders to cover or pay for drugs and devices that are purely elective."
