Planned Parenthood's last two requests for corporate welfare have been denied. Is this a fluke or a sign of common sense in local government? For ten consecutive years between 1999 and 2008, Planned Parenthood went to city government to ask for a handout of the taxpayers' money. After not requesting a grant in 2009, PP got two more handouts from the Bloomington City Council in 2010 and 2011. Up though 2009, local pro-lifers had tried in vain to get the city council not to give PP a handout, with little success - and then it got worse. PP requested and got a handout from the Monroe County Council in 2009 and 2010. So now the welfare was flowing from both city and county government.
