Do Not Ban ban licensed professionals from providing reparative or “conversion” therapy to children
 

?Do not ban licensed professionals from providing reparative or conversation therapy to children:

  • Parents are closest to their children’s challenges and they are in the best position to identify solutions and to make healthcare decisions involving the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of their children.
  • A ban would deny families the religious freedom to seek counseling aligned with their faith. 
  • Everyone wants choice- this will remove choice from parents.  

Thank you!
