Abuse is not free speech. Free speech ends when it inflicts harm.
To: Justices Court
From: A constituent in Garden Plain, KS
April 1
It is shocking and appalling that you could rule conversion therapy as “free speech”. None of it is speech. It is all actions. Every single person knows that conversion therapy is entirely harmful physical and emotional abuse. Conversion therapy inflicts harm, suffering, pain, trauma, and can cause people to commit suicide. In what way is banning extreme abuse a violation of free speech? By that logic, we would have no laws. Did any of you even think about this or read it? What kind of cruel abusive person would allow this activity to continue? What evil monster would decide that torturing others until they act in accordance with your beliefs, is a right of freedom? What about the rights of those harmed? What about their free speech? What about their abuse, torture, and violence? Disgusting miscarriage of justice. Thank you for the revolting representation of today’s Supreme Court.
