Corpus Christi, Texas, Nov 27, 2008 / 18:38 pm
The Corpus Christi City Council on Tuesday delayed funding for eight youth programs after residents protested that one program was run by Planned Parenthood.
The City Council was reviewing $500,000 for Community Youth Development program providers in the city’s 78415 ZIP code, the Caller Times reports. The city distributes the federal and state funds in coordination with the state Department of Family and Protective Services.
Rather than voting on all eight programs, the city voted to remove $30,000 in funding for Planned Parenthood.
The Community Youth Development Program has funded Planned Parenthood for the past four years.
