Why the Satanic Temple in Salem is working to increase abortion access in Texas
Boston Globe ^ | September 9, 2021 | Arianna MacNeil

Leaders of the Satanic Temple aren’t just outraged with Texas’s strict new abortion law.

They say it’s also a matter of religion.

“Consistent with our tenets that call for bodily autonomy and acting in accordance with best scientific evidence, The Satanic Temple, based in Salem, religiously objects to many of the restrictions that states have enacted that interfere with abortion access,” the religious group’s website says.

Really doesn't need a long excerpt. The question in the title is a tautology - There is no "why", the opposition of satan worshippers to restricting abortion is self-explanatory.

Did a study on this for a lecture.

The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays, observations, and rituals published by Anton LaVey in 1969. It is the central religious text of Satanism, and is considered the foundation of its philosophy and dogma. It contains violent theological questions or determinations for religion, crime, mass suicide that is consistent with modern societies, and that there can be no peace in a satanic world. They are not supporting general religious beliefs, they are attempting coercion of violence and harm.

Even the setting for the statements are confusing. Satanism is not witchcraft. Witchcraft is a study and worship of the mother earth. Satanism is for the destruction of man thus the defeat of God. Two different things.

whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. (Proverbs 8:35-36)

As i told the Globe, in parody to comments,

“All women have an individual, absolute right to the sanctity of their own vehicles. If the women does not want a person that is within that vessel, even if their occupancy is due to their own choices, then they have an absolute right to employ medically effective procedures to terminate the presence of that unwanted person.

Most of which terminations are due to having a child interfering with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%), sparing the parents from the sacrifice parents like mine made, thank God.”

Each Justice of the Supreme Court supporting abortion on demand may be reminded daily that they have personally signed a death warrant for millions of innocent children, which too often also results in the mother engaging in suicidal actions.

A poster asked, Why is a deity necessarily required in order to practice a belief system?

Reply:

If one is not then such discrimination as promoting agnosticism by forbidding any official mention of reliance upon Deity or gratitude to the same by public schools, and likewise forbidding theistic evolution even as a hypothesis while promoting “faith-based” ideology of social engineering (even men in ladies rest rooms) and punishing dissent, would be seen as bigotry.

It’s getting nearly impossible to distinguish MSM from the Babylon Bee. This very matter-of-fact piece is utterly tone-deaf with respect to the fact, well, devil worshippers aren’t exactly popular with most people of good will.

The demons in Massachusetts don’t need to worry about what we’re doing in Texas. They need to worry about the fate of their eternal souls.

BINGO! He came up with a gimmick to pull on gullible miscreants that brought in steady paychecks. Another high profile conman of history.

An interesting article:

He was much more into the cult than for shock jock entertainment. One of his followers was Jane Mansfield.
👍😊😊.

Did they just admit abortion is a sacrament of their religion?

They have proudly proclaimed that for many years.

Leaders of the Satanic Temple being outraged is a good thing.

That Satanism is considered a protected religion is absurd.

So has many a "mainline" Protestant denomination.
