'We're playing hardball'

National | ABORTION: A contractors' boycott stopped the construction of a local Planned Parenthood abortion facility; pro-life leaders want to export the tactic elsewhere | Lynn Vincent

THE ANNEX OFFICE OF THE AUSTIN, Texas, concrete contracting firm Maldonado and Danze is really just a dirt yard with a small trailer at the end of a turn-around. But inside the trailer are the seeds of a powerful new way to save children from abortion: Stacks of letters—letters just like the ones owner Chris Danze has already used to bring construction of the "Choice Project," a $4.4 million, 25,000-square-foot Planned Parenthood complex, to a stunning halt.

"Our organization respectfully requests that your firm not participate in the construction of the abortion chamber Planned Parenthood is attempting to build at 201 East Ben White Boulevard," reads the letter Mr. Danze has, since August, mailed to scores of Austin-area construction firms. "Periodically and at the conclusion of this project ... we will forward a list of those companies that participated in the construction of this child-killing complex to the business and church communities throughout Texas."
