It's all too easy these days to look the other way. From Christian Digest: "Indeed, the Girl Scouts have partnered with Planned Parenthood to “bring information-based sex education programs to girls.” The YWCA has hooked up with the abortion “rights” organization to co-host workshops on youth pregnancy and prevention." These are facts. But tell yourself whatever helps you sleep at night. I won't be following your blog anymore and I really wish more Catholics would stop being so wishy-washy. Again, thank you for responding.

I am a Thirty-One Consultant and another C...Hi Amy! I am a Thirty-One Consultant and another Catholic Blogger (but not the one handling this giveaway.) I want to take a moment to address your concern about Thirty-One and Planned Parenthood. Since the news broke in April, Thirty-One has produced a document detailing what organizations they support. They are: <br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dress for Success Worldwide<br /><br />Blume Mission Conference<br /><br />GOGO Gives: Get One Give One Gives<br /><br />Safe Horizon – domestic violence shelter in NYC tied to GOGO<br />Domestic Violence Intervention Services<br /><br />ROX: Ruling Our Experiences<br /><br />Salvation Army<br /><br />Project Woman<br /><br />Interfaith Hospitality Network<br /><br />YWCA of Central Ohio<br /><br />Girl Scouts<br />The last two on the list are the ones that caused the most questioning among clients and consultants alike. The Official YWCA statement is that they DO NOT support (at a national, regional or local level) Planned Parenthood. Girl Scouts, as you are aware, is trickier and I (as a mom to a little who really wants to be a Girl Scout) am still muddling through. It appears that while the global organization (WAAGGS, I think?) may support PP, it is up to individual local councils to support or not support. In this case, the council in Ohio that Thirty-One supports has issued a statement that they DO NOT support PP. There was also question about the Women's Fund of Ohio. Thirty-One did not give any money to the Women's Fund, but some employees bought tickets (with their own money) and went to some fundraiser. It was "mistakenly listed as a partner" and they "do not plan to partner" with the Women's Fund.<br />Now, I realize that we are all in a game of "she said, she said" and the allegations of support got more coverage than the clearing of the air/ denial of that support (and I am a LifeNews.com subscriber!) Either way, all I can go on is what Thirty-One discloses, it's not up to me to decide whether or not they are lying or bending the truth. My Catholic heart and conscience is at ease. I hope this helps!Kariannahttp://twitter.com/CaffdCatholicManoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-48324730243098370172012-09-21T16:37:39.640-04:002012-09-21T16:37:39.640-04:00I would love a large utility tote!I would love a large utility tote!Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-31794395944518325962012-09-21T14:43:40.453-04:002012-09-21T14:43:40.453-04:00Looks like my comment got deleted.
