Federal Appeals Court Upholds Washington State Ban On Conversion Therapy, Tees Up Circuit Split That May Reach SCOTUS
Law and Crime ^ | 1/24/23 | Elura Nanos

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has declined to reconsider its decision to uphold the dismissal of a case over the practice known as “conversion therapy,” teeing up a circuit split that may ultimately land the case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Licensed marriage and family therapist Brian Tingley sued Washington state in 2021, claiming that a 2018 law that prohibited licensed mental health professionals from subjecting minors to conversion therapy violated his First Amendment rights.

The Ninth Circuit issued its decision Monday not to rehear the appeal of a Washington state therapist’s challenge to a 2018 ban on conversion therapy for minors. The appeals court had previously thrown out the therapist’s lawsuit, and its decision not to grant his request for an en banc hearing has now created a split among the federal circuit courts over how far state laws can go to protect children from potentially harmful practices designed to change their sexual orientations or gender identities.

Aside from Alito and Thomas, the SC is a bunch of corrupt, human garbage. Don’t wait for them to fix anything.

Helping people overcome petrological fetishism is called “Conversion therapy”

Orwell tried to warn us.

Since December 8, 2021, offering, advertising for, counseling, performing, etc. ‘conversion therapy’ in PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh) is a crime under the Criminal Code of Canada. The penalty can range up to 5 years.

Maranatha!

Of course, God, in His Mercy, will come at a time of His choosing, not ours. We in Christendom, have turned our backs on Him. He turns His back on us, allowing us to get deeper and deeper into trouble. He is there, calling us to return. A remnant has, and more will return before he finally returns. Woe to those who fail to heed His warnings!

For a group that screamed about “what consenting adults do in privacy is not the government’s business,” they sure seem concerned what consenting adults are doing.

The church is called to preach the Gospel and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

WE WILL NOT COMPLY.

...because it is so much better to drug children with powerful hormones and permanently butcher their bodies rather than talk to a psychologist or let them grow out of it.
