Liberals see Satanic Temple as ‘last, best hope to save abortion rights in Texas’Texas’ recent bill banning most abortions after six weeks may be upended by perhaps the most unexpected group of all, religious zealots who embrace the name Satan.
The Satanic Temple has established a “religious abortion ritual” that they claim will be trampled on given the Texas law enacted in May that bans abortions at six weeks once a baby’s heartbeat can be detected.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 does generally prohibit government involvement in the exercise of a person’s religion and 21 states have enacted such laws in their respective states including Texas. One notable case argued under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was the Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. that held that the crafter’s paradise was not bound to foot the bill for insurance coverage for contraceptive services as it was in conflict with the organization’s sincerely held Christian beliefs that life begins at conception and to do so would be a violation thereof.
