Satanic abortion appeal

Huffpost.com

The Satanic Temple (ST) is suing a bill-board company for not displaying its advert on abortion, in the same week that a lawyer described how she was joining the organisation as it ‘closely aligned’ with her code for living.

The temple accused Lamar Advertising of religious discrimination for not putting up eight billboards that say abortion is a ritual. If an abortion is classified as a religious ritual it means a woman can claim religious exemptions from the mandatory waiting periods, checkups and counselling that is required by some states before obtaining an abortion.
