Satan worshippers sue Missouri governor, attorney general over abortion law

Updated Wednesday with attorney's comments.

ST. LOUIS • A group of Satan worshippers are suing Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and Attorney General Chris Koster, taking issue with state abortion restrictions they say violate their religious beliefs.

The suit also says the law violates the establishment clause, intended to prohibit governmental endorsement of religion.

The suit was filed Tuesday in federal court in St. Louis on behalf of The Satanic Temple and a woman identified as Mary Doe, who lives in Missouri. It says that she is a member of The Satanic Temple, which is “an association of politically aware Satanists, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty.”

The suit is not using Doe’s real name “because this action involves her most intimate personal beliefs and she will be subject to personal attack for bringing this action,” the suit says.

Missouri law requires abortion providers to give pregnant women information about the physical characteristics of the fetus and the fetus’ ability to feel pain by at least 22 weeks and it requires a 72-hour waiting period after counseling.

IMHO, If anyone has any doubts about abortion being a tool of Satan, this should put them to rest!

The Satanic Temple, which is “an association of politically aware Satanists, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty.”

That's a sort of interesting combination. Anton LaVey meets Madeleine Murray O'Hare meets Thomas Jefferson, all snugly wrapped in straitjackets in the rubber room...

Another article from the Far Distant time of Next Wednesday AD....

ST. LOUIS • A group of Satan worshippers are suing Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and Attorney General Chris Koster, taking issue with state pedophilia laws they say violate their religious beliefs.

The suit also says the law violates the establishment clause, intended to prohibit governmental endorsement of religion.

I have no doubt we will start seeing people trying to claim child molestation as a “Religious Right” especially satanists and ROPers...

went to the worshiper’s site and it is totally amazing how logical and good they make everything sound. It is a little nerve wracking, but it’s a pure sample of how satan works.
