The Salem-based Satanic Temple is suing Indiana and Idaho in federal court over their abortion bans, arguing they violate the religious rights of people in those states.

Driving the news: The Satanic Temple filed its complaint against Idaho on Friday, a week after filing a similar one in Indiana.

Both states have conservative governors who support near-total abortion bans.

Meanwhile, the temple's home state of Massachusetts restricts abortions after 24 weeks with some exceptions.

Why it matters: The temple is one of several organizations suing to block state laws that almost entirely ban abortions.

The temple, a nontheistic religious group that often gets confused for the Church of Satan, has used religious freedom arguments in a similar lawsuit challenging Texas' abortion ban earlier this year.

The other side: A spokesperson for Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita told the Indianapolis Star the U.S. Supreme Court decided abortion isn't protected under the Constitution. "This new lawsuit merely offers weaker arguments for the same discredited right," the spokesperson said.

Details: In latest lawsuits, the temple argued each state's ban violates the rights of people who took contraceptives and still became pregnant, denying the right of an "involuntarily pregnant woman" to engage in the "Satanic Abortion Ritual."

The temple's ritual includes the tenet, "One's body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone."
The temple accused the states of violating the 13th Amendment, discriminating against impregnated contraceptive users and the states' own religion protections.

The temple also accused the states of unconstitutionally "taking the property of involuntarily pregnant women" (i.e. their bodies) without just compensation, noting that people get paid thousands of dollars to be surrogates, per court documents.

What they're saying: Supporters of the Dobbs decision, which effectively struck down Roe v. Wade, "have woken a sleeping giant among women politically and have stirred up a hornets' nest of legal issues," James Mac Naughton, an attorney representing the temple, tells Axios. "(Supreme Court Justice Neil) Gorsuch, you want a national debate on abortion? Congratulations, you have one."

Of note: The Satanic Temple has launched various political actions and lawsuits over the separation of church and state.

Most recently, the group unsuccessfully sued Boston for the right to give an invocation before city council meetings, a practice other religious groups have performed.

This is a very sensitive and controversial issue, not only in US but in many countries as well.

Though it is highly political in America

Thankfully, you can not abolish my right to the foetus in my own womb, which I can take down a dark alley or out of state or to another country and abort from being in my womb, and which I most definitely would do if scans show it is redpilled.

Toor.

Abortion is against the law of procreation tho even if I don't like the name of this Satanic organization.

The funny thing is that these same people who are against abortion have family members and relatives who have done abortions. Let an average Nigerian man who is against abortion get an unwanted pregnancy, you'll see far he'd go to make sure it's taken out. Most people who are against abortion are religious. Many are against it for religious reasons but in their Bible you can see their "holy god" commanding people to murder kids and infants. They will make excuses for such stories in the bible but would go against women having the right to their bodies.

Is the devil trying to fight the church again for the second time? Devil don’t forget how u were casted out the first time

Word word




Good to know we are still in a libelous society

Satanic crap. Make dem go sidon abeg

I’m in and seated lol

Rabbish

Ok

Very interesting

BUNCH OF ODES

They had to come out finally.

If there exists a spiritual plane (and it does, like it or not), imagine what the murder of millions of babies year in year out is doing?

The Church has spoken against abortion for years, all we got was ridicule.

Now that it's being banned, guess who's protesting?

Mmmmmmmm?

It's time to understand that abortion "rights" is first and foremost a satanic initiative.

Satan is supporting it right in broad daylight, yet some people will say nonsense to people who are against it.

Satanists too are fighting for rights

Why is everyone suing everyone?

pride want kill satanic temple

This shows that abortion is satan's desire.

I laugh at some people.

If you kill a pregnant person, they charge you with killing two people.
Yet the woman is allowed to kill the baby & they call it human right.

Satanic temple indeed.

Don't be surprised
the May win the case

God forbid bath tin

Agents of tinubuLATION..Mean while lets get ready to vote the man that will rid us off all satanic plans by our government.
The men are H.E PETER OBI AND AHMED DATTI.
