Indiana lawmaker: Girl Scouts in league with Planned Parenthood

An Indiana lawmaker who opposes celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America says the group "sexualizes" young girls, promotes homosexuality and is a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood.

In a letter sent to members of the Republican Caucus, Indiana State Rep. Bob Morris said many parents were "abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles."

"As members of the Indiana House of Representatives, we must be wise before we use the credibility and respect of the 'Peoples' House' to extend legitimacy to a radicalized organization," he said, warning them not "to endorse a group that has been subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values."

In the Febraury 18 letter, obtained by CNN affiliate WRTV-TV, Morris lobbied lawmakers to oppose a nonbinding resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts.

Morris was the only member not to sign the measure.

      Atleast I know how I feel and don't change like the weather.

      Truth?

      I've been called on to help. You wouldn't believe it if I told you how, but it is what it is. Sadly, I'm not being paid... I do what I do for free. At any rate, it wasn't so nice knowing YOU, Mr. Misunderstood.

    lmfao @ lee, so i guess it IS true, your species has pet names eh? john thomas? Who woulda thunk it! As for the name change, that happens more than you know, doesnt matter though, cuz the dialect stays the same.

      No... I was here a couple months ago during all the "who's using my name" controversy and got bored and left. Changed my name cause the server was acting strange. So far, so good. I'm not trying to fool anyone.

    @ hope, me too, birth control i mean. People need to have their lives in a good place before they begin to have children. And yes i am interested and have been concerned for several days about his well being. The whole situation is tragic!
