Satanic Temple Sues to End Missouri Pro-Life Laws
Catholic News Agency ^ | 1/24/18

St. Louis, Mo., Jan 24, 2018 / 06:00 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pro-life laws in Missouri have drawn the ire of members of the Satanic Temple, which has filed a lawsuit claiming the laws violate their religious freedom.

State law requires abortion providers to distribute a booklet from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services which includes the statement: “The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.”

This law and others drew objections from the Satanic Temple and one of its members, whose lawsuit claims the restrictions violate her religious freedom. The politically active group, based in Salem, Mass., was founded by self-described atheists who profess disbelief in a literal Satan.

The plaintiff goes by the name Mary Doe in the lawsuit, not using her name due to fears of personal attack. In 2015 she traveled to a St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic from southeast Missouri for the abortion.

The lawsuit seeks to block Missouri’s three-day waiting period for an abortion and a requirement that doctors who perform abortions offer the booklet to women seeking abortions. The suit further objects to requirement that abortionists must offer the women an ultrasound and a chance to hear a fetal heartbeat.

There is a difference between constitutional rights and tolerating the followers of the father of all evil. The latter should not exist, and the constitution is not a suicide pact. These...things...need to be eliminated from society for the pure evil they represent. There is no place for this within a constitutional Republic.

The woman is a liar and her religion sanctions her doing that.

It’s well known that Satanists use abortion as a sacrament, impregnating women for the express purpose of killing the baby legally.

They get off on that. They’re monsters.

The Framers had no intention of protecting the rights of Satanists.

Evil is Live spelled backwards.

Evil is anti-life.

A person who publicly embraces Satanism in America is undoubtedly in conflict with Our Founding Principles (that we are all ultimately creatures, formed by the Creator of all Creation) : to renounce God = renouncing Our Beloved Republic!

What say ye?

Or for fear of her accomplices being exposed?--who's promoting these Satanic lawsuits? Follow the lawyers.

They are springing up all over the place. There was a court case in Florida, and the idiot judge ruled as if they were a legitimate religion instead of a cult.

Every Protestant and Catholic Church in the country should be attacking this nonsense and get Satanic Temple to be declared a cult - not a religion.

There was a school in Oregon that sued schools because they were having after hrs. prayer meetings. They wanted equal time, and to be able to hand out literature.

This is a set up designed to give the person standing to sue. I can’t think of any other reason for traveling all the way to Missouri. Massachusetts baby killers should butt out and stay in Massachusetts.

The satanists have become emboldened. I say it’s past time to put them back in their little box.
