[Lnc-business] Resolution Condemning Conversion Therapies

[Joe Bishop-Henchman]

Rearranging that language to get it to active voice:

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian Party opposes therapy 
modeled off these abusive institutions, protected and/or funded by the 
State, as consumer fraud and forceful abuse, and all laws allowing such.

Modifying further to make it cleaner and strip out the conditionals:

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian Party opposes so-called 
conversion therapy as fraudulent and abusive, and opposes its protection 
or funding by federal or state governments.


We either are for these state laws or we're against them. Any attempt to 
be equivocal about it will read as us being against them, and further, 
what's the point of making statements being equivocal about current 
legislation.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that therapy modeled off these abusive
> institutions, protected and/or funded by the State, constitutes
> consumer fraud and forceful abuse, which the Libertarian Party
> opposes, and we oppose all laws allowing such."
