Congressman proposes federal legislation to end conversion therapy

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., proposed legislation to ban the widely discredited practice of conversion therapy throughout the country. The measure, called the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act, would classify conversion therapy as fraud under the Federal Trade Commission Act. 

"What the bill will do is outlaw conversion therapy by saying that you cannot advertise that you're doing conversion therapy, you cannot say that it works, you cannot promote it and you cannot profit off of it," Lieu said.
