We are in a full-fledged culture war, and America's mullahs are winning. It's not just partial birth and Terry Schiavo (or Saint Ronald Reagan):

AUSTIN, Texas - 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.

The Austin Area Pro-Life Concrete Contractors and Suppliers Association announced the boycott shortly before the project began. Chairman Chris Danze, owner of Maldonado and Danze Inc., said every concrete supplier within 60 miles of Austin had agreed not to supply materials.

Danze called Planned Parenthood "a social movement that promotes sexual chaos, especially of our youth."...


A Planned Parenthood spokeswoman

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.

When do we start fighting back?
