Marquette Law School PollYouth medical careNov 5–12, 2025Chiles v. Salazar (pending): conversion-therapy restrictions as medical regulation vs. speech
More than 20 states restrict therapists from trying to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of clients under age 18, often called "conversion therapy." The Supreme Court recently heard arguments in a case asking whether such a law, as it applies to talk therapy, is about properly regulating medical treatment or impermissibly censoring speech. How do you think the Supreme Court should rule?
