[ID: “Tell me the truth, I’m ready to hear it” meme format from Raimi Spiderman 2 film. Mary Jane says that with pleading look on face while Peter Parker answers, “The Satanic Temple cannot help you get an abortion, and it does not deserve your support.” Mary reacts silently, but crushed. /ID]
Hey everyone with a uterus on my friends list. With the current bs events taken place in this horrific time line, I just wanna give ya a PSA. Join the Satanic Temple, Islam, or convert to Judaism. Those religions have a religious and holy book right to grantee the life of the mother. Abortions are mandatory when the life of the mother is stressed or threatened. Don’t let the zealot Christians in our government control you. Take a stand and secure the rights they are trying to take from you. You have options. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.
Converting to Judaism is not the answer you think it is. Spend that time on activism instead.
And TST has never won a religious freedoms case regarding abortion. Not to mention that no Rabbi is gonna accept you as a conversion student if abortion is your driving reason. You have no idea the kind of work that goes into conversion.
Also, related to this discussion, if it were possible for a religious liberty argument to work for someone other than Christian bigots, the Temple’s failures in court establish bad precedent that makes future cases harder for other, much more established religions to argue.
hey everyone! this is just your gentle reminder that TST (the satanic temple) is notoriously bad at winning it’s court cases.pleasedo not rely on them to fight for your legal right to abortion. please do not donate to their abortion fund when it’s been a proven grift from the start. there are plenty of reliable, productive grassroots orgs. that you could donate to instead.
to help combat all the misinformation that’s been passed around, i’d like to link a couple of trustable abortion/birth control resources below! i’ll also be adding dependable orgs. that you could donate to! reblog this for your mutuals who live in states where their reproductive rights could be threatened.
abortion/birth control resources:
Planned Parenthood: one of the most reliable sources for birth control available. by downloading the app, you can get a prescription for daily birth control sent to your pharmacy or directly to your mailing address. they also offer other methods of birth control, such as IUDs and rings.
Plan C Pills: a super helpful website that directs you to multiple sources for abortion pills from third-party providers. It has a price-check option, so you can find a price that works for you. they also offer abortion support and counseling if you feel you need it.
Aid Access: probably one of the best choices for abortion pills if you are less than 10 weeks pregnant. they source their medication from trustable pharmacies. based in india, they will provide you with abortion pills via mail. they also have financial support for those who cannot afford the cost of these medications. they have doctors you can contact, and instructions for every step of the process.
Women on Web: they offer abortion pills via mail as well as consultations. they also have an accurate pregnancy calculator that can help you figure out how far along you are. it’s super important that you check out the page where they’ve debunked several at-home abortion methods.
groups to donate to:
Planned Parenthood: they’re actively working to fight against the implication of unconstitutional laws such as the texas abortion ban.
