The founder of a conservative Christian ministry and legal counsel which represented Kim Davis has urged his followers to stop buying cookies from the Girl Scouts, claiming it "promotes abortion and sexual promiscuity to innocent girls."
Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was founded over a century ago in Savannah, Georgia, and was chartered by Congress in 1950. A member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (Wagggs), the organization currently has over 2.6 million members, including around 800,000 adults working primarily as volunteers.
According to the GSUSA website, the organization aims to empower young girls and women, and is currently working to increase participation in Stem subjects, boost health by increasing access to outdoor activities, teaching members how to reduce bullying, and fostering healthy relationship skills.
However, Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver, who represented former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis who was jailed for blocking same-sex marriages, said: "The once great Girl Scouts USA took a tragic fall when it became a political advocacy group that promotes abortion and sexual promiscuity to innocent girls."

(24,456 posts)Why do the crazies get all of this coverage? I mean, stuff like this used to be easily dismissed as "crank" territory. Why give them ANY national/widespread exposure?

(972 posts)These dumbshits do this every year about this time.
When it's Girl Scout cookie season, these assholes grab some attention by pulling out this pile of rancid Republicanism and wave it around for everyone to smell.
Calling them attention whores is an insult to sex workers that provide an honest service.
Maybe it's just the steroids, but when this type of crap comes up, I want to punch someone spouting it.

(14,557 posts)for many years, I have to say...We have finally been exposed. In between centering activities around science, recycling, arts and crafts from around the world, visiting nursing homes, mini Olympics, and field trips I took the girls to strip clubs and bars. I had someone do the abortion cloass because I missed the training on how to give 4-12 year olds an abortion.
Do these freaks even know how old these girls are?
