Staff Writer March 9, 2004 Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Pro-life advocates thought the battle was over when the Texas Bluebonnet Council of the Girl Scouts severed ties with Planned Parenthood, ending a decade of support for the abortion business’ programs for youth and clergy.

Cloninger explained that Girl Scouts of America addresses the challenges girls face in today’s world, including issues regarding sexuality and body image. “We partner with many organizations.
