What happens when you perform a satanic ritual before your abortion? According to the Satanic Temple, you're exempt from pesky pro-life laws like waiting periods, mandatory counselling and sonograms. And that would be because you're exercising your religious freedom under the RRFA (Restoration of Religious Freedom Act).
Some argue that sacrificing a baby for personal gain is a satanic ritual in itself, but here's what the devilish Temple instructs:
Prior to receiving any anesthetic or sedation, look at your reflection to be reminded of your personhood and your responsibility to yourself. Focus on your intent. Take deep breaths, and make yourself comfortable. When you are ready, say the Third Tenet and Fifth Tenet aloud. You may now undergo the surgery. After the surgery is completed and any anesthetic has worn off, return to your reflection and recite your personal affirmation. Feel doubts dissipating and your confidence growing as you have just undertaken a decision that affirms your autonomy and free will. The religious abortion ritual is now complete.
What are these "Tenets" and "personal affirmation"?
Tenet III. One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
Tenet V. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
Personal Affirmation. By my body, my blood. By my will it is done.
Note the condescending fact-checky, settled science of the satanists, they're all about "scientific facts" instead of, presumably, the ignorant superstition of people who believe abortion's something to do with killing a human being. That being the case, you'd think they'd welcome sonograms, but no.
Then there's the Affirmation, "By my body, my blood. By my will it is done." It is done, locked in, final, your irrevocable and bloody choice. You can almost hear the iron portcullis of Hell thunder into place.
I know, the Satanic Temple doesn't really worship Satan. For them, it's all just a witty SJW, sub-Crowleyite larf aimed at taking out perceived Christian bigotry. As in, "Let's use the RRFA to enable abortion, hahahaha!"
How very clever, until the demons you don't believe in drag you screaming into the Pit.
Out Demons Out,
