American Girl will now be on my Christmas Gift List

And yes, I did have one of the first American Girl dolls - Samantha - as a Xmas present in fifth or sixth grade. I love that company. Their stuff is awesome. Nice looking girlie presents. Not ugly dolls, like Madame Alexanders.

Conservatives turn on dollmaker that had been their darling
American Girl is helping group that backs legal abortion

American Girl, manufacturer of a highly popular line of dolls and children's books, has become the target of conservative activists threatening a boycott unless the toy maker cuts off contributions to a youth organization that supports abortion rights and acceptance of lesbians.
