Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood Calls for Construction to Halt

Denver, Colorado – November 12, 2007 – In a statement that bloggers are calling the “strongest statement against Planned Parenthood construction ever released by Catholic Bishops,” the Archdiocese of Denver has publicly opposed the secret purchase and construction of the new Planned Parenthood in Denver.

The press release included facts about Planned Parenthood, emphasizing that Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains reported 8,800 abortions last year alone.

Declaring that Planned Parenthood was among the leading abortion providers in the nation, the press release detailed Planned Parenthood’s young clientele and their distribution of graphic materials. The release can be viewed at www.archden.org.

“We, the Catholic bishops of Colorado, deplore the negative impact of the actions and philosophy of PPRM ,” the bishops continued, urging the community to “defend themselves and their beliefs against Planned Parenthood by every legal and ethical means at their disposal.”

Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood commends Archbishop Chaput, Bishop Tafoya, and Bishop Sheridan for their forthright defense of children, whether pre-born or pre-teen, harmed by Planned Parenthood.

Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood notes that people of faith working for The Weitz Company and any subcontractors building the new abortion facility should stand up for their beliefs at work.

Building a new, more convenient place for babies to be killed carries culpability parallel to that of the people doing the killing. However, the benefit of refusing to work on such a project would produce eternal value, as lives would be saved every day that the facility’s opening is delayed.

Even one employee’s refusal to participate in building a killing center would be heroic.

“We encourage all those of conscience to join us in opposition to Planned Parenthood’s expansion, for all of those involved in building this abortion super-center we urge you to put down your tools and be with us December 1 to rally for life!” Keith Mason of Colorado Families Against Planned Parenthood
