Satanic Temple Loses Battle to Overturn Missouri’s Informed Consent Abortion Law
(Worthy News) – The Satanic Temple in Missouri has lost a court battle to overturn a state law requiring abortion clinics to offer an ultrasound, a mandated 72-hour wait period, and provide state-issued pro-life pamphlets to their customers.
At issue is Missouri’s informed consent law, which says women must wait three days, be offered an ultrasound, and be provided with a booklet that says “the life of each human being begins at conception” before undergoing an abortion procedure.
The plaintiff, who goes by the name Mary Doe in the lawsuit, became pregnant in February 2015 and traveled to a St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion. Doe says her religious beliefs as a Satanist were violated by the law. According to court documents, Doe does not believe abortion ends the life of a separate human being.
