Ban Conversion therapy
 

As a registered nurse I look at evidence to guide my practice and always go by the Hippocratix Oath-first, do no harm.

Conversion therapy is a pseudoscientific practice with no reliable evidence to support its use. Currently, 18 states ban conversion therapy. Virginia must have the courage to ban this cruel and inhumane practice.
