Last week, a nationwide protest of Planned Parenthood was held. As usual, the Satanic Temple of Detroit showed up to counter-protest. Also as usual, they did it in the typical offensive, outrageous fashion that they’ve become known for.<\/p>\n

This time, they held a demonstration protesting “fetal idolatry,” where the Satanists donned themselves in BDSM fetish-wear, along with baby masks, and engaged in group flagellation. They wrapped the protest up by having “fetal idolizers” paint the “babies” gold.<\/p>\n

Another video showed the Satanists charging through a group of pro-lifers who were praying and singing, as a priest led a Eucharistic procession with a consecrated host.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time this group of Satanists have demonstrated their support for Planned Parenthood. Earlier this year, they drenched women in milk<\/a> to protest “forced motherhood,” and then, in what was perhaps their most offensive protest, had their leader pose in a crown of thorns while carrying a cross<\/a> on Good Friday.<\/p>\n

While The Satanic Temple has consistently engaged in what they call “political theater” to combat the pro-life movement, they have yet to have any discernible success.<\/p>\n

For example, they tried \u2014\u00a0and failed \u2014\u00a0to overturn Missouri’s 72-hour waiting period law by claiming it violated their religious beliefs<\/a>, because evidently Satanists literally worship abortion. And while pro-abortion extremists are fans of their stunts<\/a>, and are enthusiastic about allying with Satanists, such offensive displays are not likely to sway people who are pro-life or support abortion restrictions (which is the majority of Americans).<\/p>\n

The obvious goal isn’t to win hearts and minds; it’s to offend people. And on that front, they’re almost certainly succeeding. But whatever their long-term goal may be, some short-term satisfaction isn’t going to help them achieve that when they’re offending the very people they need to be winning over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
