The Satanic Temple has placed at least one pro-abortion billboard in Arkansas.
The billboard comes as the group has dropped its lawsuit against Lamar Advertising Company over a set of pro-abortion billboards the company rejected in 2020.
In 2020 the Satanic Temple proposed four billboard designs that falsely claimed The Satanic Temple’s “religious abortion ritual averts many state restrictions” on abortion and that “abortions save lives.” The group reportedly wanted Lamar Advertising Company to place the billboards near pregnancy resource centers in Arkansas.
Lamar Advertising Company understandably rejected the billboard designs for being “misleading and offensive.” The Satanic Temple sued Lamar in federal court as a result.
On Tuesday attorneys for Lamar and the Satanic Temple filed court documents stating, “The parties have resolved all issues between them, and there remain no issues to be decided by this Court.”
On Tuesday Family Council also learned that the Satanic Temple had paid to place at least one billboard in Northwest Arkansas claiming that “Abortions Save Lives!”
The billboard advertises “Free Religious Abortion Care,” and it provides an address for a website that tells how to get abortion drugs in New Mexico.
Attorneys for Lamar Advertising Company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit and the new pro-abortion billboard.
It’s worth pointing out that the Satanic Temple is an atheist organization with a long history of stirring up controversy in Arkansas.
The group has opposed Arkansas’ monument honoring the Ten Commandments and is part of a lawsuit to have the monument removed from the capitol grounds.
In August of 2018 the Satanic Temple held a small protest in front of the State Capitol, and parked a flatbed trailer holding a 7½-foot statue of baphomet — a satanic figure — in front of the Capitol Building for a short time.
Abortion doesn’t “save lives” — it ends lives. It takes the life of an unborn baby, and it hurts women. The Satanic Temple simply has no business making these outrageous, pro-abortion claims on billboards in Arkansas.
Only if you worship Moloch…
Only if you worship Moloch…
What they mean is the child has to die so mamacita can enjoy her own selfish success.
I never though Satin would be so forward. I was wrong.
(“abortions save lives.”)
Sounds like Obama speaking.
I’m surprised a bunch of people haven’t ended the “Satanic Temple” @$$holes, with baseball bats.
The only change is it's now somewhat respectable to be explicitly Satanic. But their moral theology is indistinguishable from "mainline Protestant" or the Democratic Party.
Stuff like this is a result of Western universalism. Everyone has to be treated the same, no matter the ridiculousness of their position. Satanism claims to be a religion, we have to treat it like Christianity. Gays pretend gay marriage is the same as marriage, and we have to play along. This is the key to our civilization’s downfall, no discernment is possible.
satanic temple sent me a card saying some one donated to them in my name. Apparently they are not proud of their organization, or meant to be intentionally deceptive because they had no return name or address info on the envelope. Opened it and when I read the card, I felt disgusted for how they send things like that. Then I prayed for them. God will take care of them accordingly.
