Pro-life vid of day: Ex-Girl Scouts call out CEO for “deceitful” video
by LauraLoo
Girl Scouts of America CEO Anna Marie Chavez has been accused of being “misleading and deceitful” by angry GS moms who are participating in this year’s national cookie sale boycott.
There is plenty of hard evidence to support these reformers for their reasons for the boycott:
1. The Girl Scouts organization no longer stands “committed to serving God” as their CEO claims.
2. The Girl Scouts “have not now [nor] ever have had a relationship with Planned Parenthood” is an outrageous claim to make, given the fact that former Girl Scout’s CEO Kathy Cloninger is on record in 2004 admitting the organization’s relationship with Planned Parenthood on the Today Show.
3. Chavez insists that “reproductive issues are deeply private matters best left to families” and that she “finds it deeply unsettling that anyone would use the Girl Scout brand to have very adult conversations.” Yet these GS moms say the “hypocrisy of such a statement is unsettling” due to the organization’s promotion of Wendy Davis as 2013 Woman of the Year, which specifically points to Davis’ filibuster of a late-term abortion bill.

Is the boycott having any impact on the GS leadership?
Our goal is to encourage GS leadership to get their values in line with American families. It doesn’t sound like GS-USA has gotten the message. Are they talking with anyone from the boycott? Do they even know how to act? Do they know how to demonstrate a change of heart?
What we want to see:
– An executive order to prevent local councils from having associations with PP and the abortion industry.
– A public statement to distance Girl Scouts from Planned Parenthood.
– Some things for the girls, like a pro-life merit badge to work for.
– Perhaps even a firing or two of top leaders who protest against these necessary changes. Here is a list of likely candidates: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/cw/post.php?id=621
I don’t like the idea of firing people to make a public relations statement, like Susan Komen Foundation did. It would be better to allow a few of them to make a public apology for their past support of abortion and let them affirm the newly reformed, family-friendly policies of the Girl Scouts.
I am all for firing every single person on that list. I don’t think that any of them can be redeemed as all are too deep into the PP connection. Their apologies would be insincere and their continued employment at GS-USA untrustworthy.
Is the boycott having any impact on the GS leadership? – no.
Our goal is to encourage GS leadership to get their values in line with American families. – I think they already are. Their numbers haven’t exactly been decimated.
Two words.
