Life Decisions International president Douglas R. Scott is urging Mattel Inc. to instruct it’s American Girl subsidiary to stop supporting Girls Inc.

It is not in the best interest of any corporation to get involved in such a controversial issue,” Scott said. “Mattel needs to stand down and stop giving its money and corporate endorsement to Girls Inc.”

This is in reference to Girls Inc.’s “Advocacy Statements” on abortion and sexuality, referenced in this post over at ProLifeBlogs.

We recognize the right of all women to choose whether, when, and under what circumstances to bear children. Reproductive freedom and responsibility are essential to other rights and opportunities, including pursuit of education, employment, financial security and a stable and fulfilling family life. Restrictions of reproductive choice are especially burdensome for young women and poor women. Girls Incorporated supports a woman’s freedom of choice, a constitutional right established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 in Roe vs. Wade.

And…

To make responsible decisions about sexuality, pregnancy and parenthood, girls need and have a right to sensitive, truthful sexuality education; convenient access to safe, effective methods of contraception and protection from disease; and referral to comprehensive information, counseling, clinical and other services that support their responsible decisions. We recognize that any sizable group of girls includes those who face issues related to their sexual orientation or that of a family member and who face discrimination based on this sexual orientation. Girls have a right to positive, supportive environments and linkages to community resources for dealing with issues of sexual orientation.
