Feminist fetus scouts of America? [View all]

Move over, Al-Quada—there's a new terrorist organization pit-pattering across American soil. They're going door-to-door, poisoning unsuspecting consumers with their boxes of Thin Mint Bra Burning and Tagalong to Soviet Russia treats. They're the Girl Scouts and they're after your unborn fetuses, sexuality and freedom.

Indiana can rest easy, however, because Republican Rep. Bob Morris of Fort Wayne is on the front lines of defense, armed with good ol' fashioned ignorance. He spoke out against the organization during their 100th anniversary last week, stating that the Girl Scouts were "quickly becoming a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood" and have been "subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values" by supporting "feminists, lesbians or Communists."

Oh, and those fundraising pint-sized rebels are "radically pro-abortion" too.

Realizing that his comments might send the Girl Scouts into a baby-slaughtering frenzy, he retracted his criticism (kind of) by providing a touching apology to the Journal Gazette. Morris said he shouldn't have "painted the entire Girl Scouts organization with such a wide brush," but that his conscience wouldn't allow him to stand by a group that "partners with Planned Parenthood—[the state's] leading abortion provider."
