You can't debate the effectiveness of chiropractic if you have any respect for science. It is kind of helpful for temporarily addressing back pain, almost as helpful as getting a massage in fact, but every claim about improving health and wellbeing including helping scoliosis.

Sure. Why are we talking about chiropractic, exactly?
Chiropractic isn't part of institutionalized religious dogma that has ingrained an ignorant pseudo-scientific practice into ritual itself.
If chiropractic were as hotly contested an issue as conversion therapy, there would be... ANYBODY talking about it.
It was brought up as a parallel, about parental choice involving medical treatments without real scientific basis.
I personally do respect science, but lets face it, that doesn't stop people debating things. Unfortunately the case people make for conversion therapy is based on pseudoscience which they sadly believe, otherwise the entire subject could have been settled on science alone.
I mean in my own personal world, where reality doesn't exist, I would attempt to convert all of those poor brainwashed religious fanatics. But at the end of the day that would make me a hypocrite.
