Contractor leaves job after discovering it was Planned Parenthood clinic

FORT WORTH - 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.

[font color=green]I guess they may have found out that it was a Planned Parenthood clinic from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram article, "$6.5 million Planned Parenthood health center under construction in Fort Worth".[/font]

Some in the community have raised concerns about having a facility offering abortion services near an adoption center and a school.

Michael Dean, senior pastor at Travis Avenue Baptist Church, said he and others heard for months that Planned Parenthood was going to build a new facility.

However, not until ground was broken did they learn the location, next to the Gladney Center for Adoption, he said.

The new center will also be in the vicinity of Trinity Valley School, he said.
