Orthodox Organization Strongly Opposes NJ Bill


My Comment:  I can’t really believe that Christie has sold his soul, but he has.  I just hope it was worth it.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill Monday outlawing therapy that aims to “convert” gay children to heterosexuals, making New Jersey the second state to ban the controversial practice, the New York Times reports. Agudath Israel of America, a national Orthodox Jewish organization, issued a statement fervently opposing the bill that will prohibit therapists and counselors from treating minors seeking to overcome same-sex attraction.

The Republican Governor reportedly waited to sign the bill at the very last possible minute because we was “of two minds” on it. On the one hand, he believes that parents should make their own calculations on raising their children; on the other hand, he does not believe in conversion therapy which aims to “cure” homosexual attraction.

Christie attempted to keep in mind the conservative primary-state voters, who would see the bill as government intrusion into child-rearing.

Agudath Israel of America claims that the bill is intrusive on “the rights of mental health therapists to engage freely in their profession, and it unfairly denies teenagers seeking therapy for issues that are troubling them the ability to obtain professional help.”

  1. We see more and more “good” people selling them selves out. No worries, they were not “good” after all, just wolves in sheep clothing (otherwise they would stand firm for their beliefs).
