Former Austin Mayor Bruce Todd called that "economic blackmail." "It's about tyranny," he said. "It's about harassment." It's about killing babies...jack@ss!

I agree with you completely, but in a more neutral tone, it's also freedom of association. It's not any more complicated than than that. If sub-contractors don't want to provide services, that's perfectly reasonable.
I hope this story spreads a bit more, maybe we'll see this happening more often. We can only hope.

And it's going to work...just like the Montgomery bus boycott.

We are not going to let a small group of radicals change that

Twit - if it was only a small group of radicals the company would have no problem. It's mainstream America making itself heard and that is hampering the efforts of "a small group of radicals" to further the baby-killing agenda.

We just may be seeing the return of the benefits derived from keeping "good company". It may not always be for the mighty buck "here and now". Maybe, this contractor, like CBS' advertisers, can see that there is a cause and affect in nature.

There is always hope, right Werner?

Not only is Danze effective in the classic activist way--he is eloquent.

How can we on FR thank him?

I know some Austin liberals who donate heavily to the abortion chambers.

...looking for ideas...

Parks said the contractors felt harassed and threatened. Danze said he has told callers to be polite and respectful.

"We told people to be polite and respectful" is a favorite line of leftists after a conservative gets hundreds of phoned-in death threats.

"People in Austin are tolerant," said state Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin. "They are for affordable health care. We are not going to let a small group of radicals change that."

I'll bet the ever-so-tolerant representative shows up to commune at Catholic churches whenever a photo op presents itself, and I expect the priests bless him and his family as they leer into the camera. This kind of thinking is infesting the Hispanic community just as it corrupted the African-American community. But in this case, the Church could serve as a counter-force to the spread of social rot if there were a will to do it.

I thought they promoted the "early-pull-out" method.

What a great idea. The rants from the pro aborts sound like the southern sheriffs in the 60s. The shriller they get the more you know we're winning.

LOL! And, if that fails, they have no problem with the late pull out (and murder) that Bush banned yesterday. Can you imagine a doctor (who has taken the Hippocratic Oath) sticking a sharp implement into a baby's skull, using a vacuum to suck out the brain, and then sitting down to breakfast?
"Yes, the bacon and eggs will be fine. Whole wheat toast, orange juice and coffee. Thank you."

On Wednesday, three former Austin mayors, a state representative and an Austin City Council member held a news conference calling on people to support Planned Parenthood.

All of these people are J@ck@$$es. They runied the city for everyone living here.

As long as UT is in Austin, (like forever) things will never change. There are so many lib professors and the students are like duck in a row behind them.

But Kae McLaughlin of the Texas Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League called people like Danze a "tiny, vicious minority that wants its way."

But Kae! I'm shocked! I thought you liberals always sided with the underdog! Does that mean we can call all small vocal groups "tiny, vicious minorities"????

ROTFL... Constructus Interruptus...

That headline has got to be a joke. Right? Right?

Nope... Check the link to the article...

In an age of Caller ID, any threats should be able to be investigated by LE.

I notice Commandant Parks stopped short of accusing anyone of a crime--she just implied it.

"Yeah, 911? I just got a threatening phone call. The Caller ID came back with 'number restricted.' What? You can't help me?"
