Satanic Temple Opens Religious Ritual Abortion Clinic - FlyersFan - 10-15-2024
If I"m reading this correctly - this Satanic Temple, which has it's HQ in Salem Massachusetts, is offering abortion medications and is offering to help pay for transportation to receive them. They are incorporating the abortions into their Satanic services, calling them the 'destructive ritual', which happen twice a week and is broadcast online.
WOW.

Quote:The Satanic Temple opened a second telehealth abortion facility to provide what it describes as “religious abortion services,” and sees the killing of pre-born babies as part of its “destruction ritual.”
Despite its name, TST is not affiliated with the Church of Satan, an organization founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s. TST also has its headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, where it holds two virtual satanic Temple services each week.
TST announced in a press release provided to The Christian Post that its new 24/7 telehealth abortion facility, “Right to Your Life Satanic Abortion Clinic,” will open in Virginia. Women will be charged a fee to obtain abortion-inducing drugs, but the group claims it will help pay for some travel-related expenses.
In a TST document shared with CP, the group claims that abortion is part of its "destruction ritual that serves as a protective rite."

They better watch out with this stuff or someone will expose these shadowy secretive rituals which they obvious totally want to keep hidden and not brandied around in the light of day and railed against

I'm not surprised by anything the ACLU White Knight Church does. And they somewhat grew on me for it.
They culturally express the anger bibles in schools causes and how a certain type of more forceful religion is falling out of favor.
They are horned Pastafarians trolling Oklahoma, and have been since their inception.
There are devils all around. The devil of the evangelist is abortion rights as moral law and the devil of TST are blue laws and temperance and anything less than enforced secularism.
And Satanic rituals are painful. Not because of spookiness but because the participants are just really that lame.
I've done CoS styled ones with the infernal incantations and it is just embarrassing and out of comfort zone to participate in.
Like, "How the hell are you doing this gibberish Azazel gates of fire shit without cracking up?"

Well, that's gonna fluff some feathers, by golly.
Note that the meds will help in some cases -- but only if the fertilized egg has NOT implanted itself in the womb.
I did look up the Satanic Temple to confirm that this is a "thing"...and was beyond amused that they're using legislation that helped Hobby Lobby to make the legal case for themselves.
People might (or might not) wish to peruse that web page. It's here:

If you were involved in a LaVey group, this bunch is different.

Sounds like the devils aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
which is worse, them offering service, or people going there for said service?

Think of the proselytization opportunity this church will have...
Affirmation, judgement free, economically supported... ritual human sacrifice... it's a win/win for them.
If we truly accept that this is a choice of "faith" we cannot intercede. We can bitch about it (it's a free country,) but religious freedom is a thing in this country (as it should be.)
I wonder how they feel if the are just "used" to accomplish the abortion services, with no real "faith" at the end of that equation? I suppose it doesn't matter... the human is dead anyway.
The pendulum swings.

I think they are using an "I am my own god" loophole to pull an autodeified conscientious objector card in the spirit of a liberal Westboro Baptist Church.
It's bizarre, because every real Satanist I'd ever met would laugh at my worldly and political opinions. I fell for a trap. Satanism (before it became TST) was largely anarchist. In the Satanosphere god = country = a slavery device to keep you subjected to status quo and masters.
Satanist also have this whole "born" thing going. Like Satanism traditionally appeals to born iconoclasts. There's a "get it" part of the essence of it all that these political activists lack. They're doing it really wrong.
The "it" thing summed up in a Death To Smoochy quote:
"When my brothers would play Cowboys and Indians I was always the Chinese railroad worker."
And you either get it or you don't.
