Now is not
the time to keep silent. I like Girl Scout Cookies as much as the next guy, as
my physique can attest to. But being pro-life requires sacrifices.
It’s true,
there are many businesses that support Planned Parenthood, enough that it is difficult
to avoid them. Not that one can’t try. Heck, even our tax dollars go to support
them. So what makes their partnership with the Girl Scouts of America (GSUSA)
merit a boycott?
It has to
do with the target audience. Namely, Girl Scouts. You see, as a business major,
I have realized that Planned Parenthood has an impressive business strategy.
They have a massive sex education program, trying to normalize sexuality to
young children, masturbation, sex toys, pornography and a host of other
questionable things. Within their program is detailed instructions to children
on how to use sex toys and building a case as to why sex is a healthy thing and
should not be regulated. Why?
Because it
builds customers.
Teach kids
at a young age, and I’m talking starting in kindergarten, and you’ll have an hypersexualized
generation. You will have teenagers involved in all sorts of stuff that no one
should be involved in, much less minors. They want to test what they learn and
what they see on the screen. Couple this with free birth control, which is made
faulty to purposefully fail, as if birth control and condoms don’t themselves
have 20% and higher failure rates. The result is a lot of crisis pregnancies.
Crisis pregnancies, if you have your head in the sand, have a much higher
chance of ending in abortion. And where will the loyalty lie? To the company
that provided them with sex education and birth control. And Planned
Parenthood, which locates itself in low-income areas, as the lower class and
minorities have a higher pregnancy rate and a much higher rate of abortion, is
only too happy to take their business. At the charge of $3000+. And trauma to
the woman. And at least one life.
And half of
abortions are repeats from the same woman. It really is a brilliant plan,
looking past the ethical issues of dismembering provably living humans, using
women and pregnancies as a means to profit from, and covering up statutory rape
and sex trafficking in order to obtain more business.
This is the
company that the Girl Scouts are in with. Concerned?
Naturally,
GSUSA CEO Anna Maria Chavez denies any involvement. But if Planned Parenthood
really does help women as it claims, what is there to hide?
The Twitter
page for the organization reposted a video of “Women of Distinction”, which
included Senator Wendy Davis, praising her for filibustering a bill to limit
late-term abortions. For their public speaking badge, a recommended list is
provided of “Human Rights” speeches to watch, which includes Margaret Sanger’s
right to birth control speech.1 In 2010, International Planned
Parenthood Federation credited its partnership with the Girl Scouts for helping
them reach the youth with the message of sexual and reproductive rights. A
young Girl Scout employee was told to turn her “Pray to End Abortion” t-shirt
inside-out or leave. The “girls only” program supported by the Girl Scouts explains
what to do if a girl is planning on having sex while drunk or high.2
Even
if you are foolish enough to believe in Human Rights and abortion, think of
this: only 10% of sales go towards local Girl Scout chapters. So only 10% is
ever seen by the girls who are selling the cookies. The rest works its way up
the bureaucracy of the organization. Millions in income obtained from unpaid
child labor.
This list
is far from exhaustive; on the contrary, it hardly scratches the surface. Check
on the links at the end or do your own search. There is an obvious connection
between an organization that has influence over two million girls and an
organization that brutally kills girls a decade younger. Do we trust girls in
America with sex ed from a business that tells them how to have sex while
drunk, or that as a kindergartener sex is natural? Or that, by the likes of
Lila Rose has been uncovered as covering up incest and rape? One that enables
sex trafficking by allowing pimps to force underage prostitutes into abortion
after being impregnated by a patron? Do we trust a business who fights against
having parental consent for underage girls to have abortions?
I used to
enjoy Girl Scout cookies, and I have nothing against individual Girl Scouts.
But too many Christians are guilty of sin through ignorance. You are informed
now. As Christians, or anyone who cares about young girls’ futures, we cannot
in good conscience support the Girl Scouts of America. If it means sacrificing
a traditional sweet to avoid contributing towards a hypersexualized culture of
death, so be it.
