"Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent warned that the ruling could lead to an era of unprofessional and unsafe medical care administered by effectively unsupervised healthcare providers."
"Conversion therapy, which attempts to change a child's sexual orientation or gender identity, has been debunked as ineffective and harmful, yet the ruling allows its practice to continue."
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to overturn Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, which has been criticized as harmful and ineffective. This ruling may lead to unregulated and unsafe medical practices by unsupervised providers. The case, Chiles v. Salazar, involved a licensed therapist who challenged the ban despite evidence against conversion therapy. The ruling allows religious groups to continue practices that may harm children, raising significant concerns about the future of medical care for LGBTQ+ youth.
