The Satanic Temple is opening a second abortion clinic! Donors can vote on the name. My favorites: Beelzabort The Preemptive Stork’s Abortion Clinic, and Ejaculate Misconception Family Unplanning Clinic
This is pithy on it’s face. I’m not sure of the utility of opening a “Satanic Clinic” from the perspective of women in need of health care services.
But even still… they should just make it a regular clinic. Don’t give it a funny name, don’t put their name on it, don’t do anything that will give ANYONE an uneasy feeling about using it when they are in need.
If a woman needs/wants and abortion, she’s most likely gone through hell (no pun intended) making that decision. The last thing she needs is to see that her closest option is the ‘Hail Satan Abortionarium’ or feel that her situation is being used to score political points for some organization.
I fully support TST and all that they do… but this just feels a bit sleazy.
A Satanic Clinic can argue for religious rights on the ritualistic sacrifice of the fetus.
100% helpful. The satanic temple is a recognized organized religion in the US. It’s why they are so effective at shutting down “we will just have preachers in schools” initiatives. The Satanists can then send their preachers in, and the school cannot stop them legally. The programs always fold instead.
Religious rights having outsided power in the US is 100% a goal of the conservative supreme court and the GOP. Any power they give to Christians can be claimed by Satanists too. By opening up a church which offers the sacred right of abortions, Satanists fight the weakening of the separation of church and state, or at a minimum, can undermine abortion bans
Its a win win.
