Curves - Bad News
I found the following on the alt.gossip.celebrities ng:
-- 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. URL for the source.cops: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...DGLU4ULFV1.DTL -- nimue "There was a time when I was young and gay -- but straight." Max Bialystock Do not taunt happy fun ball. SNL |

Curves - News
Whether it's bad news or not is a matter of one's perspective. You
are assuming 100% of the people here have your same point of view. ... You may do with this information what you will. How kind of you to allow others to make up their own mind! I'm sure that will be appreciated |

People can decide where to exercise and lose weight. They may choose to spend those dollars elsewhere if they know this about Curves. Of course, others may choose to go there because of this. I think it has a lot to do with where you choose to exercise. I know I will NEVER be going there now. I considered it for when my current gym membership expires, but no way -- not now. -- nimue "There was a time when I was young and gay -- but straight." Max Bialystock Do not taunt happy fun ball.

Did you go to the link? It's from the San Francisco chronicle. I think it's worth investigating, at least. Don't discard this information just because it's from a gossip ng. It could very well be true, and it's not a good idea to stick your head in the sand. A quick google search comes up with MANY other articles confirming this, imo, disturbing story.
