Ban Conversion Therapy
 

An individual's freedom does not extend to torturing minors in their care.  Evidence-based medicine indicates that conversion therapy is linked to increased risk of depression and suicide and has no benefit on a child's well-being.  Protect children from this fraudulent and harmful practice.  Ban conversion therapy.
