Satanic abortion appeal

The advert that Lamar Advertising refused to display

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.

One billboard includes a woman holding a small Adolf Hitler with the text: ‘What if abortion had been an option?’
