Other topic, The governor defended his decision to issue an executive order yesterday banning conversion therapy, a process that involves attempts to convert someone to another sexual identity.

After the announcement, the Conservative Family Foundation criticized him for going beyond his authority.

Yeah, executive order is legal and constitutional.

It's been done in other states.

The United States Supreme Court refused to review Washington's ban on conversion therapy, leaving it in place.

But at the end of the day, I mean, this is a practice that every major medical organization says is unethical and that it harms kids.

It makes them twice as likely to commit suicide.

I made a pledge in Koven that I was going to make the hard decisions to save lives, and I'm continuing to do that.

And if this was some practice that that that involved a different subset of kids, I'd stand up against it just as much as I have today.

People said some of the same things right after I did my medical marijuana executive order as well.

We believe it's constitutional.

We are ready to fight for it in court if we need to.

But whoever wants to file that lawsuit is standing up for a practice that hurts Kentucky kids and results in more Kentucky kids dying.

We should all be against that.
