Jack Hopkins social services funding schedule

By Scott Tibbs, March 30, 2012

The city has released the schedule for the 2012 Jack Hopkins social services finding process.The schedule is below:

Application Deadline - Monday, April 9

Agencies Present Applications - Tuesday, May 15, 5:00 P.M. - City Council Chambers

Committee Recommends Allocation Of Funds - Thursday, May 31, 5:00 P.M. - City Council Chambers

City Council Votes On Funding - Wednesday, June 20, 7:30 P.M. - City Council Chambers

Christians in Bloomington have been pleading with the City Council to not include Planned Parenthood with the agencies that get a portion of these limited funds. Every single year, the city council ignores the pleas of Christians and gives more of our tax money to an obscenely wealthy international corporation that throws babies into the flaming mouth of Molech every Thursday just a few blocks south of the county courthouse.

As I pointed out earlier this month, Planned Parenthood of Indiana admitted in their annual report that they enjoyed $15,135,052 in revenue while spending $14,232,019 - a profit of over $900,000. Are you seriously trying to tell me that Planned Parenthood "needs" a grant every single year from the Bloomington City Council?

Following is a list of the grants this evil corporation has gotten from city government:

1999Medical exam table$5,000
2000Teen education (Community Development Block Grants)$2,000
2001Equipment to test for anemia$1,394
2002Autoclave for the purpose of sterilizing instruments.$1,495
2003Four computers$3600
20046 sets of cervical biopsy equipment$2,923
2005Security cameras and equipment$1,500
2006Install cabinetry and purchase files and furniture$2,440
2007Friend to Friend Patient Pass program $5,000
2008Colposcopies for women with abnormal Pap test results$2,500
2010Distribute birth control to women & girls as young as 13$5,000
