California's Catholic Bishops Attack AIDS Ballot Proposal

The New York Times - September 16, 1986

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 16 - California's 20 Roman Catholic bishops say a voter-initiated referendum that would impose controls on AIDS victims is an attack on civil rights that also threatens development of a cure for the fatal disease.

The California Catholic Conference on Monday released the bishops' statement attacking the ballot issue, which is sponsored by the organization of the political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., a 1988 Presidential contender.
