California Courts Make Conflicting Rulings on Gay Conversion Therapy Ban
While advocates of “conversion therapies” claim they can turn gays and lesbians into heterosexuals, the state legislature recently banned them as potentially damaging to minor children. But the law might not go into effect because two federal judges have issued conflicting opinions involving regulatory powers and the 1st amendment. Also tonight… the LA County Sheriff has changed his mind about a federal program for detaining suspected illegal immigrants. We’ll talk with Lee Baca about that and the cost of reforms at County jails. Later on… the hidden cost of public assistance to private enterprise.
