Boycott stops abortion clinic project

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Weeks into the project, the contractor hired to build an abortion clinic hit a brick wall: Plumbers and carpenters would not work for him. Drywall installers and heating subcontractors would not do business with him. Cement suppliers for miles around would not touch the job.

He had been hit with a boycott organized by abortion foe and construction-industry executive Chris Danze.

The builder finally quit the job this month, stopping the clinic project in its tracks, in what national Planned Parenthood officials said was the first such boycott they have ever seen.

What's wrong with these anti-abortionists? The current law says that abortion is optional. In other words, it's up to each person. Why do these nut-cases decide to control the lives of others? :crazy:

If people are going to prevent things being built toward something we don't like, then why don't we do a similar boycott regarding building new housing? After all...freepers might live there someday!
