1. Mr. Pence did not support "state-mandated" conversion therapy. There's a long way between giving funding to organizations that offer a service, to mandating that people partake in it.
"Mandated" in the sense of being presented as a requirement for life-saving medical treatment. In fact, it's hard to get more "mandated" than that.
I'd go on, but the logic in your other points is similarly muddled.
