I'm sure if the funds from those cookies were going to "pro-life" causes people would strangely have a different opinion simply because it coincides with their own views.
Of course they've got a right to not buy cookies. And I have a right to draw attention and laugh at them because they're publicizing all this based on, literally, no factual reason. To be clear, the money from girl scout cookies isn't going to either side of the abortion issue, because the girl scouts are not guilty of the thing the right wing is alleging they've done.
To say this is about cookies or abortion is missing the point; this is about the complete dearth of facts in yet another oversensitive, right wing outrage dance.
