A Conservative MP has listed prayer alongside grotesque acts such as ‘corrective rape’ as she called on the Government to ban so-called conversion therapy.

Writing for The House magazine, Alicia Kearns, MP for Rutland and Melton, said the “fraudulent and abhorrent practice” must be criminalised, as existing laws do not enable prosecution where no physical harm has been caused.

She said any attempt to stop someone from expressing their chosen gender identity or sexual orientation is ‘conversion therapy’, which she said “can range from ‘therapy’ and prayer sessions, to aversive treatments like electroshocks or even ‘corrective’ rape”.

Kearns said a ban had to include “not only conversion therapy to change sexual orientation” but also “non-consensual attempts to prevent someone from expressing their own identity”.

She made it clear that she wants a ban to include parents seeking to protect their children.

She said legislation should include a power for family courts to stop parents from trying to prevent their children being given harmful ‘sex swap’ drugs, and that it should be a legal requirement for people to report “known or suspected cases of ‘conversion’ therapy”.

While she said provisions had to be made “for the complex discussions around faith and sexuality”, she emphasised that she does not want such discussions to hold up the legislative process.

If this is what passes for “conservative” in Britain, than why bother voting Conservative Party there.

Is perversion becoming the dominant theme of western civilization?

That tells you just how powerful prayer is when satan puts prayer and rape in the same sentence as if you could ever compare the two.

Fortunately (for now) the first amendment prohibits any restriction on providing Christian counseling to gays who want to escape that lifestyle, so long as no fees are charged.
