RE: In a state where anti-abortion lawmakers perform public animal sacrifice, The Satanic Temple fights for bodily autonomy.
it's funny because the law they are suing about is legitimately problematic but their argument based on their religious liberty is absurd on its face. I suppose that is the idea but it is also wasting everyone's time when someone probably has a legitimate constitutional issue with the statutes.
The MO law attempts to enforce a religious viewpoint. It's offensive to anyone who does not believe that life begins at conception and is unconstitutional. The Satanic Temple's claim is legitimate. Their belief that the body is inviolable and subject to one's own will alone is just as sincere and important to their lives than the beliefs of a Christain - which is one reason why the state cannot enforce a singular religious viewpoint over another.
the law seems pretty unconstitutional AND their lawsuit is just as baseless as someone arguing that abortion should be banned based on their religious beliefs.
