Contractor Leaves Job After Discovering it was Planned Parenthood Clinic
KHOU Houston ^ | 3/30/12 | Jim Douglas

Posted on 03/31/2012 4:08:27 PM PDT by marshmallow

FORT WORTH, Texas - Construction equipment churns away behind a chain link fence, but there's no sign to show what's being built on John Ryan Road in Southwest Fort Worth.

The Gladney Adoption Center right next door, which sold the land to a third party, didn't learn who bought it until Thursday.

One subcontractor didn't find out until just a few hours before he was to pour concrete footings this week.

When he discovered it was a new Planned Parenthood health center where abortions will be performed, he told the general contractor his religious convictions wouldn't allow it.

He walked off the job. He told News 8 other construction workers are also raising religious objections.

The president of Planned Parenthood of North Texas said there's a reason the organization's name is not on the project.

"From the beginning, we intended to be public with this project," Ken Lambrecht said. "We wanted to choose the right time, so that our contractors wouldn't have to endure the harassment and intimidation that Planned Parenthood staffers and patients must endure on a day-to-day basis."

Abortion: the number ONE cause of death in the United States! About 1.4 million, and that is just the surgical ones. It beats heart disease by a long shot.

Abortion industry is BIG business. And then sell the body parts. Grusome. Hurts women. Tax dollars contribut.

Thank you, God, for the testimony. It’s a pity the clowns in D.C. don’t have such convictions.

It’s “Planned Murder”, not “Planned Parenthood.”

Planned Parenthood health center

Isn't that an oxymoron?

The Edna Gladney Home (for unwed mothers) has been a landmark institution in North Central Texas caring for tens of thousands of young unwed mother over the decades. I'm sure that the land would have never been sold to PP had they known who the buyer (talk about deception.

Here's a little information about Edna Gladney as posted on Wikipedia:

Edna Gladney placed over 10,000 babies with adoptive parents during her career and totally revitalized adoption practices. She helped to grant adoptive children the same rights as “natural” children and gave orphaned children and many birth mothers a place to stay and a hospital where they could receive treatment. She helped develop modern day adoption practices and removed the stigma of “illegitimacy” from birth records and from society. Edna treated all of “her” children as if they were her own and continued correspondence with adopted children long after they had left her care. She became a mother to so many people, and her legacy can continue with the Edna Gladney Center for Adoption and things like “Where is Edna Going?”; a Facebook page that adopted children and adopting families can use to connect with other adoptees and adopters by taking pictures with a cutout of Edna with their new families

God bless him and other workers who support life from the womb to the tomb!

I hope some Houston FReeper makes sure this good man has a job.”

We would certainly help but I do believe this gentleman is from Fort Worth. Part of that area up there is very conservative so hope this article gets some legs so he can reap some earthly rewards.

It's rough out there for baby killers.

“harassment and intimidation that Planned Parenthood staffers and patients must endure on a day-to-day basis.”

AND the TORTURE and MURDER that their patients endure on a day-to-day basis.

I always ask... What kind of person can tear apart a little baby, sell it's parts, then put what is left over in the garbage disposer, and throw the switch?

Oh, they can't sell parts, it's illegal. Baby parts FREE, shipping and handling, $10,000, all very legal.

Oh, they don't really put dead baby parts down the disposer!
Oh, yes they do. Sometimes they just throw them up on the roof. (documented).

A verse from Keith Green's song, “A Billion Starving People”

“I find it hard to just ignore, the murdered unborn children,

Yes times have changed, but still God warns, you shall not take a life.

I want to save a life today, I want to keep one alive for my Father,

Who will avenge the blood!

Of weak and helpless ones someday - whose lives are spilled out like water,

Lambs in the slaughter, and each one is handmade by Jesus.”

I don’t think so either Meredith.it’s hard to respect killers especially those who murder the most innocent.
