Thanks Kate, for the heads up on this!

This is incredibly disturbing -- I would say even moreso than when I found out Urban Outfitters' Owner/CEO donates thousands of dollars to batshit crazy anti-abortion, anti-woman, anti-queer, anti-1st Amendment Senator Rick Santorum. Because Curves gyms are becoming more pervasive than Starbucks, and they're oriented towards women and selling themselves as woman-positive environments! Apparently, the curves they really want to see are those of forcibly pregnant bellies.

I do not appreciate spam in my journal. If you are going to spam someone's journal, at least read the post that you are spamming. Spamming a post about reproductive rights with wank about a makeup and beauty rating community is really in poor taste.
