520 _a"There are no signs outside the construction site heralding the new building that's going up here alongside a busy Austin highway. The trucks and other work vehicles that pull in each day are anonymous and lacking any company markings. Even the building permits on file with the city don't disclose the identities of the subcontractors working on the project. What's being built on this nondescript urban parcel, next to a Wendy's and a Brake Check garage, is a new Planned Parenthood clinic that will offer abortions to women who cannot otherwise afford them. And the stealth nature of the construction reveals much about how the relentless struggle over the procedure is now being waged, 31 years after the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision establishing a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article discusses a new tactic by anti-abortion activists in which they are targeting subcontractors working on abortion clinics, "threatening to reveal their identities to local churches and launch economic boycotts against them" if they don't quit working on the clinic.
