Breaking news: Supreme Court seems set to rule against Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy

NYT reports:

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Tuesday seemed poised to rule for a Christian therapist who says her free speech rights are violated by a Colorado law barring mental health professionals from seeking to change a teenager’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

In a lively argument, which lasted an hour and a half, the justices debated whether the so-called conversion therapy covered by Colorado’s law causes harm to minors. Lawyers for the therapist and the Trump administration said there were no studies indicating such therapy causes harm. The state’s lawyer countered that there is a “mountain of evidence” that conversion therapy is ineffective and harmful.

Medical organizations began to speak out against the practice in the late 1990s, citing a growing body of research that it was ineffective and potentially harmful.

The court’s decision, expected by June, will have implications for the more than 20 other states that have similar laws.

If the Supreme Court rules that Colorado’s law infringes on free speech and is subject to a demanding form of judicial review, the justices could send the case back to the lower court for further consideration — or declare the law unconstitutional and strike it down.

Colorado lawmakers passed the restrictions in 2019, after major medical associations found conversion therapy ineffective and potentially harmful for young people.

Another manufactured case brought to SCOTUS-like the graphic designer and gay wedding invatations.  Women who brought the case is a faith based counselor, who isn't prevented from talking about conversion therapy, so she shouldn't be allowed to sue at all-no standing, but here comes the Christian Activist court to the rescue again.

Those damn Christians.  Blowing shitt up and stabbing people all over the world. We really ought to do something about them.

Conversion therapy causes harm to all that partake in its wickedness.   The trump administration also called Epstein friend.  And yet, stupid voters,voted for this liberal to be president, again.
