Gay Conversion Therapy Ban Blocked By California Court

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

How is it opposite from its normal viewpoint for it to be in favor of allowing individuals to do what they want, even tho it is disapproved of by a majority of right-thinking individuals?

So any idea how the judges will eventually rule? I can't believe there might be idiots to overturn such a law in 2012.

I can't believe there are idiots who passed it.  The sole argument against in favor of it is that it stops people from engaging in self-destructive behavior.  Yet there are all sorts of self-destructive behaviors people engage in and banning them has practically never turned out well.  I can see banning the state paying for such 'therapy' under its mental health programs, or banning the providers of such therapy from being a provider at all under state-funded health programs.  I can also see banning parents from sending their minor children to such therapy.  However, a blanket ban has a whole host of constitutional and policy problems.
