Iowa city rolls back ban on 'conversion therapy' after legal group complained of First Amendment violation
Fox News
Waterloo City Council votes to lift ban on so-called 'conversion therapy' for minors after receiving a demand letter from Liberty Counsel.
By June, the city received a letter from the legal nonprofit group Liberty Counsel arguing "local governments in Iowa do not have the authority to regulate licensed counseling because the Iowa Legislature has given that power solely to Iowa’s Board of Behavior Science." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
The nonprofit also claimed the ordinance was a violation of freedom of speech laws under the First Amendment.
