Boycott Blocks Construction of Abortuary in Texas

"This is not a simple demonstration of free speech rights," Danielle Tierney, spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region, told the Associated Press. "This is denying people affordable health care and reproductive rights."

Alright Madame Mengele, even if one were to accept the sick and very duvious proposition that abortion is one segment of healthcare, WTF GIVES PEOPLE A "RIGHT" TO IT???? You want healthcare, YOU pay for it at least that's the way this country used to view such things.

Insofar as we clearly cannot rely on the courts to defend the rights of the weakest and most innocent among us, Danze has done an admirable thing here. This is a way to at least halt the growth of the tumor of death-culture in America, and I do hope that we can take similar action in our own states. All of this is legal; there's no law afaik against a contractor's refusing a project.

It certainly appears the tide is turning across America... Planned Parenthood, the DemonicRAT Party, and the Hollywood elites have all lost... BIG TIME... in the last week.

I love it!!! LOL

[Lexinom]

And yet they persist with the notion that Abortion-on-demand-for-any-reason is a winning position. The longer they keep their heads in the sand, the better.

[jwalsh07]

Amen to that.

Thats not an excerpt!!!

I hope this does go national!!!

I first saw it about a week ago on LifeNews, devoted exclusively to life-and-death issues. Today, it was on NewsMax, a broader conservative website. Surprised no one else on FR posted this (I did a search before putting this up).

"Austin, Texas is the most pro-abortion city in the South, bar none. This is a city that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on city-funded abortions. This is the San Francisco of the South.

I bet construction contractors tend to be more conservative than the population as a whole. Lots of them are civil engineers. I doubt many of them were sociology or journalism majors in college. Any way would you want some leftist who doesn't believe in objective truth designing and building the buildings you go inside every day? I don't think so.

Most of their business is on the sale of abortion, their tax forms indicate that," Graham told CNSNews.com.

When my then, teenage daughter, wanted to know what I thought about abortion, I drove her through the parking lot of a Planned Parenthood Clinic. I asked her to look at the expensive cars parked in the spaces reserved for the Medical Director and the Executive Director of the clinic. I asked her if she thought this was the rich doing favors for the poor. She didn't think so, was her reply; "It's the other way around".

Good for her and good for these boys in Texas. More power to 'em.

Thank GOD. And nice term, "abortuary". VERY fitting.

[MissAmericanPie]

Gad, I love Texas, you couldn't blast me outta here with a rocket.

"We have requested that the construction contract be terminated because we are unable to secure and retain adequate subcontractors and suppliers to complete the project in a timely manner due to events beyond our control,"

YES!

[Lexinom]

Sounds kind of like "butcher" doesn't it?

....."We have requested that the construction contract be terminated because we are unable to secure and retain adequate subcontractors and suppliers to complete the project in a timely manner due to events beyond our control," read a statement by Browning Construction.....

Interesting statement. They signed a contract they now can't fulfill. They are apparently in violation of the contract. Who pays the Owner for the damages from a reneged contract. The Bonding Company?

Me thinks this is just beginning. There is a big can of worms under the contract surface.

[LibKill]

This is brilliant!

Note this, "I didn't raise a dime to do this, it was mostly through e-mail, which is a very powerful tool," Danze said,

Using the power of the Internet, this man spread the word very fast.

If I were selling concrete, and an order came in for construction, I would fill it without thinking.

BUT, if I had been forwarned that it was for an abortion-mill, I would NOT sell that concrete.

It would be terrific if we all refused to do business with the merchants of death.

[bert]

....there's no law afaik against a contractor's refusing a project....... well actually there is. The article implies he has a contract to construct a building and that is law.

[nicmarlo]

"I respectfully told them that if they participated in and cooperated with Planned Parenthood in building that abortion clinic, that I would no longer do business with them," Danze explained.

Why, it's just more INTIMIDATION practiced by the VRWC!! And Dashle must be deeply saddened and disappointed.

[Servant of the 9]

I am pro-choice, but that includes the right not to work on or at an abortion clinic.

[Lexinom]

That's true, because Browning actually signed the contract. But it could send a powerful message to future potential contractors for these projects.
