My first question, after reading the headline “Court rejects Satanic Temple’s claim that Texas abortion ban violates ‘religious freedom,’” was, does the left want these folks playing so publicly on their team? Satanists are claiming that aborting babies is a religious right (by which they must mean rite).
[The Satanic Temple] is known for agitating against pro-life laws, sponsoring LGBT “pride” events, erecting Satanic statues on public property, and promoting “Satan clubs” on public school property, among other attention-generating antics in support of various left-wing agenda items.
What in the name of Lucifer’s cloven feet is this nonsense?
“SB 8’s ban on abortions after six weeks infringes upon our members’ rights to engage with their chosen religion and to participate in religious rites and rituals,” claimed TST Director of Campaign Operations Erin Helian. “In accordance with our Third Tenet, The Satanic Temple will push back against the Texas legislature’s violation of our members’ bodily autonomy and freedom of choice.”
Admitting that abortion is, or at least might be, a religious sacrifice could be a red-listed bridge too far, even for your average I-Stand-With-Planned-Parenthood T-shirt-wearing blue-haired trans-feminist. You say it is your body, but it is actually an altar to satan, and abortion docs are high priests performing ritual sacrifice. I feel certain they’d all be happy to claim the tax deduction (my body is a temple to satan!) but won’t this put a hitch in Big Abortion’s Gary Cooper step?
Maybe some enterprising new media reporter can ask the next time they take questions at a Press conference: and not just Big A, but ask any of their fully paid-for franchisees doing business as elected officials.
Excuse me, is abortion a religious rite (that’s R-I-T-E) protected by the first amendment?
And in related news, is it worth reminding you that Statan CON in Boston (back in April) required masks and proof of vaccination? That was amusing, but this is just hysterical.
TST is a secular-leftist group that purports to embrace Satan’s name as a “symbol of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority” while not believing that God, the devil, or other supernatural concepts literally exist, but also promotes satanic rituals.
There is no God nor Satan, but they sued to protect abortion based on religious rights that, banded on their worldview, do not exist.
They are self-admitted lefties. Government is their god, as is satan. That’s an accurate description of the Democrat party if you ask me.
