Huh? Wha?

I was looking up something called "American Girl" dolls since I am utterly obscure to these new fangled toys. I was interested because it somehow got related with VH1's "I Love Toys" marathon.

One of the links I found, however, included an article on conservative Christians shunning this toy because it had to do with a group that had been known to be pro-abortion?

delennamachoo, I'm surprised you didn't talk about this one. Or did you? I can't tell, this all looks wacky to me.

I hadn't seen it, but it's funny. The American Girl company donates to girlsinc which is a great organization they are labling pro-abortion without doing much more research.

The abortion argument reminds me of the troops argument. You're either for the war or against the troops, and you're either pro-life or against life. Advocating a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body is NOT advocating abortion. I'm pro-choice, and I would never have an abortion nor would I encourage anyone else to do so. I simply don't want the government telling me what I can and can't do in the event of an unplanned pregnancy especially for victims of rape, incest, etc.

The funny thing is that I don't see anything anti-Christian on the girlsinc website. They're simply trying to empower girls.

I agree 1,000% percent.

Empowering girls is anti-christian to fundamentalists, even though they don't say it directly. Can't allow the patriarchy to get overthrown.
