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.

The Satanic Temple cannot help you get an abortion, and it does not deserve your support.

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.

@QueenMab87 To make a religious argument on the basis of atheists or the satanic temple you would likely need to get judges to admit anti abortion laws are based in Christianity. You don’t need to do that to make a Jewish religious freedom argument for abortion. Judges are not going to take satanic temple arguments for abortion seriously. I worry putting them up next to Jewish arguments will delegitimize the Jewish fight. Seriously stop

Completely wrong

@AngryBlackLady oh yeah this is important. As someone who has actually covered The Satanic Temple's efforts with regard to abortion access, I stopped when it became clear that it was actually harmful. The Satanic Temple is not going to save you.
