Texas Contractor Drops Out of Abortion Facility Construction
By Jim Vertuno Associated Press Writer
Published: Nov 5, 2003

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - One of the state's largest construction companies backed out of a project to build a clinic where abortions would be provided, after concrete suppliers boycotted the job.
Browning Construction Co. of San Antonio pulled out Tuesday, about six weeks after the start of the boycott.

The company wanted out of the contract because it could not retain subcontractors and suppliers "due to events beyond our control," Browning owner James Browning said.

Danielle Tierney, spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region, which is building the clinic, called the boycott a "campaign of harassment and intimidation" and said the project would be completed.

Hell, I'd imagine even in Texas pro-choice gets close to 50% support. Someone needs to start a concrete company which will support pro-choice customers.
