Wealthy sex assault survivor pledges to defeat GOP lawmaker who won’t let victims sue their abusers

[UCmeNdc]

A wealthy New York businessman has made it his personal mission to defeat state lawmakers who won’t pass a bill to allow child sex abuse survivors to sue their abusers.

Gary Greenberg, a minority owner of the Vernon Downs racetrack, has pledged $100,000 of his own money to unseat state Sen. John DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) and other lawmakers who oppose a bill that would eliminate the civil and criminal statute of limitations for child sex abuse crimes, reported The Post-Standard.

1. Good!

Why does the GOP ALWAYS seem to side with the abusers and against the victims? Makes me think that many of them are abusers themselves and want to deprive their victims of power lest it come back to haunt them.

2. Yup it's a classic case of pot calling the kettle black.

Look at how many fundamentalists are caught in some of the most horrifying sex crimes known to man. And it seems like a new one happens every week. And the more religious one is, the more horrifying the crime seems to be.
