Denver, Colorado - Documents filed with the City and County of Denver show that The Weitz Company has provided false information in order to obtain permits for a new Planned Parenthood facility.

Demolition and construction permits were applied for by Weitz in the name of United Airlines Inc. The City of Denver then granted permits based upon the falsified applications, effectively granting permits for the building of an abortion clinic to United Airlines! UAL is the former owner of the city block that is slated to become Planned Parenthood’s new 52,000 square foot abortion headquarters.

In a Wednesday phone call, a United Airlines employee in Corporate Real Estate claimed no knowledge of the Planned Parenthood facility or of the permits pulled in their name. Indeed, their sale of that property was completed on January 11, 2007.“This is just another example of the under-handed dealings of Planned Parenthood and The Weitz Company,” stated Keith Mason, of Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood. “Sub-contractors have told us that they didn’t even know this would be an abortion facility, much less the largest one in the nation.”

Haynes Mechanical Services, a company contracted to work on the facility, and told Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood that they, also, were unaware that they were working for Planned Parenthood. Representatives of Haynes Mechanical Services claimed the building was a United Airlines Call Center.

An October 29th article in the Rocky Mountain News featured quotes from The Weitz Company’s Senior Vice President Gary Meggison. In the article, Meggison claimed that he has been “up front with subcontractors on the project about its controversial nature.”

“We’re not surprised that the abortion industry would be so deceptive,” continued Mason. “We are surprised that The Weitz Company is putting their reputation and credibility on the line to collaborate with Planned Parenthood.”
