The Satanic Temple comes to the rescue of Texas women

[wackadoo wabbit]

From their site:

The Satanic Temple has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division alleging that certain state-mandated abortion restrictions violate TST members' religious beliefs.

Here's the link, which explains in depth what they're doing:

This is a very big deal. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act mandates that the federal government can't ban religious practices, and the state of Texas has passed a similar law. Thus, as abortion is an actual sacrament of The Satanic Temple, it would seem that it cannot be banned for TST members in Texas.


I really believe that these people are doing god's (satan's? ) work. Please support them if you can:

Important Note: The Satanic Temple is very different from the original Church of Satan of Anton LaVey fame. Before condemning The Satanic Temple because of their name (as has happened here in the past when I've posted about the good work they're doing), please read about the differences and what The Satanic Temple advocates for.

1. Peyote is legal for some Native American tribes' religious practices.

5. That's where the RFRA ostensibly came from.

Then Republicans decided to use it to trample all non-Christian equality.

7. Yes. Turn it right back to them.

2. Jewish law is being trampled on too!

Religious freedom for x-tians only. Jewish law, which predates x-tians by about 2000 years, states that life begins at first breath and the mother's life is paramount to the fetus. Where's the justice for Jewish women?

6. I am a member

And what the church is doing is outstanding. I don't have a way to get involved more being in the stupid suburbs with no transportation
and cant drive .

They are good people.
No insult intended.

8. Now THAT is some imaginative thinking!

VERY creative!!! Like it!!! No, I think I rather LOVE it!!!!!

Take what the bad guys want to shove down our throats and turn it around and jam it down THEIRS!

BRAVO!!!

Now, how else can we use that strategy? Turn their own shit around on them and make ‘em eat it!

Good to the last drop kick!

I have not been around much lately but a friend tipped me off about this one and I had to recommend it...
Hmm finally a group I could consider joining

Good for them...That is creative! I hope they are not culty in general..it just sounds like they have a wacky sense of humor like the pastaferians...

Edit: Did not really have the time to read all of that site but they seem fine. Hmm..time for me to finally go to temple ? I liketh3 sound of them...seem like kindred spirits.
