The group also intends to name it &#8220;The President&#8217;s Yuge Most Beautiful Tremendous Satanic Abortion Clinic,&#8221; in similarly odd and disrespectful fashion as its previous facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Their first abortion facility, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/satanic-temple-religious-abortion-facility-samuel-alito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opened<\/a> in New Mexico, was named &#8220;The Samuel Alito\u2019s Mom\u2019s Satanic Abortion Clinic.&#8221; The group snidely remarked that \u201c[i]n 1950, Samuel Alito\u2019s mother did not have options, and look what happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The second facility was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/right-life-satanic-abortion-clinic-opens-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opened in Virginia<\/a> and was named \u201cThe Right To Your Life Satanic Abortion Clinic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All three abortion facilities are telehealth facilities, dispensing abortion pills to women in their respective states at no cost.<\/p>\n<h3>THE BACKSTORY:<\/h3>\n<p>The Satanic Temple claims that abortion is a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/satanic-temple-violate-religious-rite-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">religious ritual<\/a>, and as such, should be made legal under religious freedom.<\/p>\n<p>In the ritual, a woman reads the Third Tenet \u2014 \u201cOne\u2019s body is inviolable, subject to one\u2019s own will alone\u201d \u2014 in front of a mirror; then, after taking the abortion pills, she recites the Fifth Tenet \u2014 \u201cBeliefs should conform to one\u2019s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one\u2019s beliefs\u201d \u2014 in front of a mirror again.<\/p>\n<p>After passing the preborn child\u2019s body, the woman concludes by reciting a personal affirmation: \u201cBy my body, by my blood, by my will it is done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This ritual has been endorsed by <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/cosmo-satanic-temple-abortion-ritual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cosmopolitan magazine<\/a>, which likewise assured its readers that the ritual doesn&#8217;t mean abortion is a &#8220;religious sacrifice,&#8221; though what else an intentional taking of a human life in the name of religion would be is not clear.<\/p>\n<p>The Satanic Temple has repeatedly claimed that pro-life laws are violations of its members&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/satanic-temple-violate-religious-rite-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">religious freedom<\/a>, filing multiple lawsuits in an attempt to have them overturned.
