Pro-Life Parents Find Alternatives to American Girl
Posted by League Staff (November 7, 2005 at 1:25 pm)
Since the League announced a boycott of the American Girl doll company over their ties to the pro-abortion group Girls Incorporated, pro-life parents have been seeking alternatives for their daughters. Several excellent doll lines are available:
-
A Life of Faith Dolls
-
“Ordinary girls—extraodinary faith”—that’s the theme of these dolls created by Mission City Press. A Life of Faith began as a series of books about girls living out their Christian faith with heroism. Girls loved the books so much, they began to ask for dolls to go along with them, and now the company offers four different beautiful dolls, each with a full line of accessories.
Mission City Press has responded to the American Girl controversy with a Statement, which concludes: “We teach an “I Can” message of our own: ‘I can do everything through Him who gives me strength’ Philippians 4:13.”

The Beautiful Girlhood Collection
- “In a world that frowns on femininity, that minimizes motherhood, and that belittles the beauty of being a true woman of God, we dare to believe that the biblical vision for girlhood is a glorious vision.” This is the inspiration behind the Beautiful Girlhood Collection available from Vision Forum. Several different dolls and accessories are available, along with books.
