2. Just Another Front on the War on Women

Is there any evidence the Girl Scouts ever partnered with or their national organization made supportive comments about Planed Parenthood? I could certainly see how they might promote PP as a place low-income scouts could get PABST smears or other women's preventive health care. I don't see how that would be different from recommending AA or NA to troubled people.

I really just think these backwards ass idiots are angry the Girl Scouts are not throwing out gay scouts and scout leaders like the Boy Scouts are.

In addition, any organization that tries to uplift and support women seems to be a target for the GOP these days.

I think the GOP ascribes to the policy of "let's keep 'em barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen."
