Satanic Temple Will Argue Abortion Is Religious Ritual in Legal Challenges

The Satanic Temple joined Democrats in their battle against the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade.

The Satanic Temple released a statement arguing they will fight in court for the right to “religious abortion.”

The Satanic Temple (TST) said its adherents should be permitted religious exceptions to perform religious abortion rituals in states that have put up barriers to the controversial procedure.

Responding to a leaked Supreme Court opinion draft that would overturn Roe v. Wade, TST said it was committed to protecting “religious abortion access” for its members.

“States that outlaw abortion and do not grant exceptions present more significant challenges, but TST has a number of plans that we will be undertaking quite soon,” TST said. “First, we will be suing the FDA to permit TST access to Mifepristone and Misoprostol for use under medical supervision as part of our religious abortion ritual.”
