The Girl Scouts have had a disturbing, well-documented relationship with the abortion lobby for a long time.
The organization finally overplayed its hand this past December by giving its stamp of approval to two infamous pro-abortion women, Wendy Davis and Kathleen Sebelius. This drew a boycott of Girl Scout cookies, called CookieCott2014.
Yesterday the America Heritage Girls, a faith-based alternative to the Girl Scouts, announced a new Respect Life Patch, which ”reinforces the organization’s commitment to honoring life from conception to natural death.”
How to earn the patch? From the press release:
Troops representing more than 30,000 girls in 48 states can earn the patch by participating in an event that brings attention to respecting life or by providing a service project for an organization whose mission/purpose demonstrates a desire to respect life, such as pregnancy resource centers, pro-life groups and hospices.
That’s awesome. Now, how could the Girl Scouts find any fault with that? This badge would seem like a natural fit between its babysitter badge and women’s health badge….
Such a badge would launch the Girl Scouts on a healthy and constructive path back from the abortion abyss. How about it, Girl Scouts?
(Frontier Girls is another faith-based alternative to the Girl Scouts.)
