California Sex Abuse Bill Advances
Contact: The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, 212-371-3191, pr@catholicleague.org
NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Bill Donohue comments on the California bill that would allow those who claim they were molested in a private institution more time to file lawsuits:
On August 14, SB 131 lost in the Assembly Appropriations Committee by a vote of 6-4; there were seven abstentions. Yesterday, it passed 12-4. The bill now heads to the Assembly; it could be voted on as early as Monday.
It was the Democrats who made the difference between last week and this week. Last week, they were indecisive; this week they decided to cast their vote in favor of a bill that discriminates against the Catholic Church.
We need a lawmaker who will introduce a bill that discriminates against the public sector. The bill should suspend the statute of limitations in cases involving the sexual abuse of minors who were victimized in a public school or any other public entity. All private institutions, including Catholic schools, would be given a pass.
This is the only way to send a message to the public about this phony war on child abuse. Anyone who is serious about this issue would never entertain a bill that had selective application.
