Satanic Temple challenges Missouri's abortion law on religious grounds
NBC NEWS, enemy of the American People ^

Posted on 04/12/2019 2:31:10 PM PDT by MNDude

There will be a showdown with Satan on Tuesday in the Missouri Supreme Court.

Not with Lucifer himself, but with a group called the Satanic Temple that is going to bat for a woman identified as "Mary Doe." She contends the state’s informed consent law, which required her to wait 72 hours before having an abortion in May 2015, violated her religious beliefs.

Specifically, the woman — identified in the case summary as a "Greene County resident" — says she was forced to view an ultrasound of her fetus and pledge that she read a booklet stating that the “life of every human being begins at conception.”

"Specifically, her letter advised she has deeply held religious beliefs that a nonviable fetus is not a separate human being but is part of her body and that abortion of a nonviable fetus does not terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being."

I wonder what all these abortion advocates are going to think when on judgement day all these aborted babies will face them as witnesses?

If we don’t correct our moral ship we are going to be punished by Jesus.

This could be a sign...to pull the mask off abortionists, satanists, and other socialists.

Self-autonomy is the devil’s delight. No accountability, except to self.

Easy to defeat—If it is actually on religious grounds, they are now categorizing abortion as human sacrifice, which is illegal in pretty much the entire world.

Their “deeply held religious belief” may deny the effects of gravity, but that does not give them the legal basis to object to air travel regulation.

Just because their religion allows abortion does not mean the government has to allow it.

There are many things everyone’s religion allows that are disallowed by the government.

My religion allows me to pay no taxes (if the law so allows).

My religion does not prevent me from driving on the left side of the road.

If the Satanists win on this basis, what prevents them from arguing that human sacrifice is a “deeply held religious belief” and must not be prohibited by law?

Satan supports abortion. Another thing in common with Democrats.

The United States is already under God’s Judgment.

And the Democrat Party has been under the control of Satan since 2010, when they formally rejected God.

These Satanists will pay the highest price some day, glad I won’t be there.

Losers worshiping the biggest loser in the universe. If they are a religion, would be interested if the IRS gives them a religious exemption?

We as a nation are too late to correct things. The saying that God would have to repent for destroying Sodom, the Flood, the captivity of Israel, the captivity of Judah, the subjugation by the Romans and the dispersal of the Jews once more. We have done as much, or worse.

We do not get extra credit for the good things we do, from who much is given, much is expected. Who has been blessed more than the Western world? The invasion by the Muslims and others is but part of it. The worst is yet to come.
