IMPLIED THREAT

Not even the relative liberal stronghold of Austin, Texas, is the concept of choice and individual freedom free from conservative fanaticism.

One of the state's largest contractors pulled out of a project to build a Planned Parenthood clinic after every concrete supplier within 60 miles agreed not to sell to them.

According to an Associated Press story, Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Danielle "Tierney said one subcontractor, which she would not identify, had received more than 1,200 calls from around the country warning it not to participate. She said contractors were threatened with the loss of business if they did. "

With past incidents of anti-choice fanatics murdering doctors and other health care providers, these tactics are nothing more than veiled intimidation.
