All women - especially women in Texas - should join The Satanic Temple [View all]

The Satanic Temple (not to be confused with the Church of Satan) has made abortion a sacrament. (They actually did this some time ago; they were obviously thinking ahead.) Because of this, abortion, even in Texas, is protected under federal religious freedom statutes.

Here's a link to their abortion sacrament page that explains what they've been doing to protect their sacrament against state interference:

From their site:

How is the satanic abortion ritual legally protected?

As a federally-recognized religion, The Satanic Temple utilizes RFRA and the Hobby Lobby precedent to protect its members from unnecessary abortion regulations that inhibit their religious practices and force them to violate their deeply-held beliefs.


Here's a link if you'd like to join:

https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/join-us#shopify-section-join-membership-form

Membership is free, You can buy an official membership card for $25.

There are congregations you could join, including four in Texas. If I lived in Texas, assuming I hadn't already shot myself in the head, I'd definitely join a congregation and act with other congregants to ensure that the state understood that they couldn't prevent us from exercising our religious freedom. Here's a link to find your local congregation:

Honestly, I think they're wonderful! They're really doing god's (satan's?) work. Here's a link if you'd like to donate to them:
