:
: -- Just so you know: Gary Heavin, the founder of the Waco,
Texas-based
: chain of exercise studios called Curves, is a heavy contributor to
: several organizations allied with Operation Save America, the
rather
: more muscular successor to Operation Rescue, the anti-choice
group.
:
: The organizations he funds are spreading the lie that abortions
lead
: to an increased risk of breast cancer. Planned Parenthood says its
: operations in Texas are being threatened by Heavin-funded clinics
: based on the old therapeutic model "you must carry your child to
: term."
:
: In an article in Christianity Today, Heavin expressed pride in his
: involvement with anti-choice groups, to which he donates 10
percent of
: Curves' profits. You may do with this information what you will.
