Pro-life protesters, including some American Girl dolls, are scheduled to picket the American Girl Place superstore in New York City tomorrow to protest the company's association with a group that promotes abortion rights and lesbianism.

As WorldNetDaily reported, the Pro-Life Action League last month announced a boycott of American Girl, decrying its support of Girls Inc. The group is now sponsoring the NYC protest.

In August, American Girl launched the "I Can" campaign with Girls Inc., urging girls to take a pledge and purchase a special bracelet.

With every purchase of the "I Can" band, 70 cents is given to Girls Inc. in addition to American Girl's contribution of $50,000.

On its website, Girls Inc. says it supports a girl's right to abort an unwanted baby and promotion of contraceptives for girls.

The group also offers resources encouraging lesbian and bisexual lifestyles.

Tomorrow's picket, scheduled for 10 a.m. outside the company's store on Fifth Avenue will include parents and their daughters, the Pro-Life Action League says.

"December is the busiest shopping season of the year," said the group's executive director, Ann Scheidler, in a statement. "Our picket will reach thousands of shoppers on New York's Fifth Avenue with the unfortunate news that American Girl is funding Girls Inc., a group that strongly advocates abortion."

The organization says the protest will include pro-life girls holding signs, many of whom will also hold popular American Girl dolls – such as Samantha, Kit and Molly – who will be hoisting their own miniature picket signs.

The American Family Association also has initiated a campaign to warn parents about American Girls' connection to Girls Inc.
