Satanic Temple Files Lawsuit Claiming Abortion as a 'Sacramental Act'

When an advertising company refused to post ads on its billboards offering advice on how to get abortions, the Satanic Temple responded with a lawsuit claiming the censorship infringed on its religious freedom since abortion was a sacramental act.
The Satanic Temple based in Salem, Massachusetts contacted Lamar Advertising based in Louisiana. The Satanic Temple wanted to advertise what the group calls its religious abortion ritual which it describes as a sacramental act that confirms the right of bodily autonomy. The Temple submitted five designs to Lamar for display on eight billboards in Arkansas and Indiana. Lamar initially accepted the proposal after being informed that the message was pro-reproductive rights.
The billboards, strategically positioned near centers that performed abortions, informed people on how to claim abortion as a religious ritual in order to circumvent waiting periods, counseling, ultrasounds, and other measures that some states require before an abortion can be performed. The performance of this ritual exempts members from complying with many state regulations. According to their website, The ritual involves the recitation of two of our tenets and a personal affirmation that is ceremoniously intertwined with the abortion.
One of the designs depicted a bowl of cake batter is shown with the text, not a cake, next to an image of a sperm and egg with the text not a baby. Its accompanied by text saying, Our religious abortion ritual averts many state restrictions. All of the designs contain imagery from the Satanic Temple which features Baphomet, a depiction of Satan with the head of a goat.
Lamar rejected the designs as misleading and offensive. Lamars contract states that they may reject or remove any billboard that is not in good taste and in line with the moral standards of the individual communities in which it is to be displayed.
In their legal claim against Lamar, the Satanic Temple claims the rejection of their designs constitutes religious discrimination as per the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authoritys (ACRAs) nationally-applicable laws. The Satanic Temple also claimed that Lamar acted in bad faith and has deprived them of the ability to advertise its religious abortion ritual as Lamar holds a monopoly over much of the US billboard market.
SATANIC TEMPLE: ABORTION AS SOCIAL JUSTICE OR IDOLATYS MODERN FACE? The Satanic Temple claims to be non-theistic despite using Satanic imagery which it claims promotes its agenda of egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state. They describe Satan as a symbol representing the eternal rebel against arbitrary authority and social norms.
The Satanic Temples fascination with abortion belies its roots in idolatry. Baal, worshipped by the Mesopotamians, was a major influence in ancient times. Mentioned more than 90 times in the Bible, most notably when Elijah defeated the priests of Baal in a contest to bring down fire from heaven to burn a sacrifice, Baal became the archetypical form of idol worship. Followers of Baal engaged in bisexual orgies and sacrificed human infants, burning them alive. Pantheistic, they worshipped Mother Nature while denying the existence of a creator.
Founded in 2012, TST claims to have more than 300,000 members worldwide. Based on eight Fundamental Tenets, the Satanic Temple is a strong advocate of abortion which is enshrined in the third tenet that states that Ones body is inviolable, subject to ones own will alone. They claim that in accordance with best scientific evidence, The Satanic Temple religiously objects to many of the restrictions that states have enacted that interfere with abortion access.
Ironically, the Satanic Temple also has a Protect the Children Project and an after-school program.

At least some on the left is finally admitting to what they are doing.
Abortion is Satanic and has been for thousands of years.

I say agree with them. Abortion is a satanic religious act. Because of “separation of church and state”, tax payers can’t fund religious acts. What a shame...

I thought it was bizarre that some states permit full term "abortion" so whether a baby is killed or not upon birth depends on what paperwork "mom" signed for the procedure. Mom checked the first box,you live. Mom checked the other box, you die.
I couldn't understand the "demand" for full-term "abortion". Carry the baby to full-term but make sure baby dies when the time comes?
Even worse, a medical researcher posted an "open letter" to tell people about a "cell collection " method being used on aborted babies without benefit of anethesia. This is gory so if you're sensitive to this kind of horror, I recommend you not read the following:

Time to call it like it is: abortion is human sacrifice, period. Sometimes it is justified. The vast majority of the time it isn’t.

I recently saw a tweet from a doctor who works at the Mayo Clinic (or claimed she did) who was crowing about telling Trump-supporting pregnant women that they had a ectopic pregnancies when their babies were perfectly healthy. Leading them to abort their babies.
That is some real $#!+ evil right there.

It seems that whatever they need from the death of the baby is what determines what happens to them. Some need the cells, some need the organs, some need the constant income from the 1st trimester ones.
But, then there are the satanists and witches who use the babies for their own nefarious needs. I cannot tell you what I have read in that regard because it is so horrible.
Most of the women who get abortions are first time mothers. Most of them are unknowingly giving up their first fruits. Satan is getting our first fruits.
Imagine how God must be feeling about all of this. The blood of all those babies cry out for vengeance.
