American Girl dolls to protest company

Dolls sign onto Pro-Life Movement!

I posted on the American girl controversy back in August. Here is an interesting and somewhat amusing follow-up.

Pro-life protesters, including some American Girl dolls, are scheduled to picket the American Girl Place superstore in New York City tomorrow to protest the company's association with a group that promotes abortion rights and lesbianism.

[…] In August, American Girl launched the "I Can" campaign with Girls Inc., urging girls to take a pledge and purchase a special bracelet.

With every purchase of the "I Can" band, 70 cents is given to Girls Inc. in addition to American Girl's contribution of $50,000.

On its website, Girls Inc. says it supports a girl's right to abort an unwanted baby and promotion of contraceptives for girls.

The group also offers resources encouraging lesbian and bisexual lifestyles.

Tomorrow's picket, scheduled for 10 a.m. outside the company's store on Fifth Avenue will include parents and their daughters, the Pro-Life Action League says.

[…] The organization says the protest will include pro-life girls holding signs, many of whom will also hold popular American Girl dolls – such as Samantha, Kit and Molly – who will be hoisting their own miniature picket signs.

The American Family Association also has initiated a campaign to warn parents about American Girls' connection to Girls Inc.

Using their own dolls on the picket line should go a long way towards heaping burning coals upon their heads. In biochemistry, there is a phenomenon known as “product inhibition.” I certainly hope these products inhibit their manufacturer. You don’t want to mess around with angry dolls – remember Chuckie!

Just as long as Peter Singer doesn’t use it as an opportunity to start a Manikin Liberation Movement.
