I was a Girl Scout. When we moved north, there was no troop, but in my younger years, I was a Girl Scout. I earned a roller skating badge, a cooking badge, and various other badges. It was a lot of fun. Well, I guess things have changed.<\/p>\n
Life News<\/a> is reporting that the In May 2013, WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts<\/a>)\u00a0 participated<\/a> in Women Deliver<\/a>, a global conference with the purpose of \u201ccalling for action to improve the health and well-being of girls and women.\u201d<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n The conference featured speakers<\/a> such as late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart<\/a>, philosopher Peter Singer, who supports infanticide<\/a> and euthanasia<\/a>, and Health and Human Services Secretary<\/a> Kathleen Sebelius<\/a>. Some of the breakout sessions<\/a> were entitled \u201cOuting and Addressing Abortion Stigma\u201d and \u201cWhy I Perform Abortions<\/a>.\u201d Exhibitors<\/a> included many abortion and population control advocates such as Amnesty International, Guttmacher Institute<\/a>, International Planned Parenthood Federation<\/a>, Marie Stopes International<\/a>, Planned Parenthood Federation of America<\/a>, United Nations Population Fund<\/a>, and WAGGGS.<\/strong><\/p>\n Equally concerning is WAGGGS\u2019 participation, along with International Planned Parenthood Federation and Planned Parenthood Global (PPFA global), in the Youth Advisory Group<\/a> for the Women Deliver Conference. It seems to me that the Girl Scouts have some interesting, you might even say radical friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n Abortion in America is not about women’s health–it is about the amount of money abortionists make and the lobby that protects them. I believe that abortion should be legal in cases where it is medically needed to protect the life of a woman–period. Abortion generally has as many risks (if not more) than pregnancy. Particularly when you consider that even in America, abortions are not always performed in the best of medical facilities with emergency equipment.<\/p>\n The Girl Scouts need to stay out of politics. There is enough for them to learn about simply being strong, successful women without having to support abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was a Girl Scout.
