The Satanic Temple has announced that its Satanic abortion ritual exempts TST members from enduring medically unnecessary and unscientific regulations when seeking to terminate their pregnancy. For now, this exemption only applies to states that have enacted the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. TST members and those who share our deeply held beliefs who choose to perform our ritual are not required to undergo mandatory waiting periods, endure compulsory counseling, be forced to view sonograms, affirm inaccurate information about abortion, or fulfill other state demands that require them to violate their deeply-held beliefs of bodily autonomy and scientifically-reasoned personal choice. Because these procedures contravene Satanists' religious convictions, those who perform the religious abortion ritual—which involves the recitation of two of our tenets and a personal affirmation that is ceremoniously intertwined with the abortion—are exempt from these prerequisite procedures and can receive first-trimester abortions on demand.
