Things get more sinister yet. On Wednesday, New Jersey Assemblyman Tim Eustace, who sponsored the bill and is openly homosexual, bombastically compared change therapy to beating a child and suggested that the government take children seeking change away from their parents.
He told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, What this does is prevent things that are harmful to people. If a parent were beating their child on a regular basis we would step in and remove that child from the house. If you pay somebody to beat your child or abuse your child, whats the difference?
Mat Staver responded on the same program: It is shocking to hear the laws sponsor threaten parents that the state will remove their children from them if they provide the counsel they need and which helps them. This is the ultimate nanny state, he said.
I bet this same individual fully supports hormone "therapies" which stop children's natural development as boys/men and girls/women and then sex "reassignment" surgery if they "decide" they don't want to be the sex they were "assigned" at birth. Now that is child abuse.
