So states can't make laws banning one "medical" treatment, but can make laws banning another?
Is that "States Rights"?

An 8-1 high court majority sided with a Christian counselor who argues the law banning talk therapy violates the First Amendment. The justices agreed that the law raises free speech concerns and sent it back to a lower court to decide if it meets a legal standard that few laws pass.

8-1. That really sucks.
