Pro-choice advocates in Texas have been offered a faint ray of hope from a possibly unexpected source this week – Satanists.
Purportedly in the name of religious freedom, The Satanic Temple has hit back hard against the state’s recent institution of draconian anti-abortion laws.
The Massachusetts-based religious group has filed a letter with the US Food and Drug Administration to make the case that abortion is the faith-based right of its members.
The Satanic Temple argued that under The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which was created to allow Native Americans access to peyote for use in rituals, its members should be allowed to access abortion pills Misoprostol and Mifepristone without regulatory action.
Satanic Temple spokesperson, Lucien Greaves, said in a statement. “I am sure Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton - who famously spends a good deal of his time composing press releases about Religious Liberty issues in other states - will be proud to see that Texas’s robust Religious Liberty laws, which he so vociferously champions, will prevent future Abortion Rituals from being interrupted by superfluous government restrictions meant only to shame and harass those seeking an abortion.”
He added that Satanists hold bodily autonomy and science sacrosanct, and abortion “rituals” are an important part of those beliefs, reports Fortune.

So they admit to human sacrifice.
Nice...
We have democrat taliban party murderers in our midst.
So they are admitting killing unborn babies is satanic?
Interesting legal question—or maybe they are thinking if they get a legal exemption they will be able to recruit more members?
We know Who already has won the victory. There is Victory in Jesus. For believers, this world is not our home.
On another note, these “Satanists” don’t realize that their “faith” was founded by an old school carney named Anton LeVey.
The list is getting longer and longer, but there is so little time.
Sickening to read this. Horrid evil.
Isn’t that just special...we are going down the tubes fast.
So murder is a protected activity as long as you enshrine it as a sacrament in your religion?
Takes the First Amendment off a cliff
The Food and Drug Administration? Seriously?
So Satanic Temple and Dem Party are on one side. We are on the other. Let the Dems explain that one. They claim we are all systemic white privileged toxic racists if some nutjob kills people with a gun somewhere. Somehow we are blamed.
So blame the Dems. Hard.
Good line: “Madame Speaker, although our distinguished colleagues in the other party and their Satan Temple allies have found fault with this legislation....”
The precedence of religious exemption was always a bad one seems to me. Its a bit like going into the locker room of the gender you identify with. But since we do recognize such exemptions we have to now judge where they go too far. Think when it involves the death of an innocent we are certainly there.
“ The Satanic Temple has hit back hard against the state’s recent institution of draconian anti-abortion laws”
They’re only draconian to those killing babies. No surprise the satanists and democrats would have a problem. That’s the difference between good and evil.
Finally!
I headline that makes sense.
Biden did mention whole of government effort
This govt is satanic
That’s funny, considering the Satanic Bible states that one shouldn’t take a life. That’s a super-common misconception.
That says something.
Satanists support abortion. Tells you everything you need to know about abortion. And Democrats.
