Limitations Periods in Sexual Abuse Cases

There’s an interesting fight taking place in Minnesota over limitations periods in sexual abuse cases, with full-page ads and everything.  The ad in question was placed by a group called The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, who advocates against extending limitations periods for sexual abuse cases out of fear that current churchgoers’ contributions will go to old torts, bankrupting the church.  I can’t find a copy of the ad on their site, but this essay summarizes the themes pretty well.
