SCOTUS is leaning toward a ruling that torture of children is protected free speech.
They are currently considering the case of a Christian therapist who claims that a Colorado ban on the scientifically discredited conversion therapy for children violates her free speech and causes her "irreparable harm."
The scientific consensus overwhelmingly rejects the discredited technique as ineffective and dangerous, increasing the risk of causing PTSD and suicidality among patients, particularly children. Bans on the treatment are supported by the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association and many other professional organizations.
