NEW YORK: Catholic League Celebrates “Victory” In Helping Block Bill To Reform Child Abuse Laws

The New York legislative session ended over the weekend without the approval of a bill that would have reformed child abuse laws. Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue is taking credit. He writes:

The bill was sold as justice for the victims of sexual abuse, when, in fact, it was a sham: the proposed legislation that failed to make it to the floor of the New York State legislature in the wee hours of Saturday (the session that began on Friday ended at 5:00 a.m. the next day), was a vindictive bill pushed by lawyers and activists out to rape the Catholic Church.

If the statute of limitations were lifted on offenses involving the sexual abuse of minors, the only winners would be greedy and bigoted lawyers out to line their pockets in a rash of settlements. The big losers would be the poor, about whom the attorneys and activists care little: When money is funneled from parishioners to lawyers, services to the needy suffer. The Catholic League is proud of its role in this victory.

Bolding above is motherfucking mine.
