The head of a pro-family group is suggesting that people not buy Girl Scout cookies because of the organization's link with Planned Parenthood.
Christy Volanski, whose daughters co-founded SpeakNowGirlScouts.com, has already revealed a correlation between the Girl Scouts and the abortion giant. Now, Austin Ruse, a father and head of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), is saying "no" when Girl Scouts ask him and his wife to purchase the organization's popular cookies.
"The Girl Scouts really have no business partnering with the largest abortion provider in the world," Ruse contends. "Yet the [CEO of the Girl Scouts] has actually gone on network television explicitly saying that they work with Planned Parenthood."
And he recalls a Girl Scout event at the United Nations, where Planned Parenthood distributed its brochures titled "Healthy, Happy and Hot -- a young person's guide to their rights, sexuality and living with HIV."
"That got us going on this particular issue, and then we discovered that there was some very creepy conference that the Girl Scouts in Texas put on with Planned Parenthood which dealt with much of the same issues as the 'Healthy, [Happy and Hot]' brochure," the C-FAM president notes. "So there's just a lot of evidence, as my wife said, [that] there's something really 'rotten' going on here."
He concludes that not buying the cookies is one way to show the Girl Scouts, which has seen reduced enrollment in recent years, that the organization is losing support.
Meanwhile, Ruse points out that Christian-based alternatives, such as American Heritage Girls, are available.
