American Girl, which just launched its first ever major ad campaign in its 20-year history, released a statement saying it is "profoundly disappointed that certain groups have chosen to misconstrue American Girl's purely altruistic efforts."

Also Mattel, the maker of the doll has decided it will not renew its partnership with Girls Inc. which runs out this year.

-----

Girls Inc. is the company that supports women in poverty, supports Roe v. Wade, etc.

Edited to show Mattel caved--they make American Girl.
