Satanists Put Up I-95 Billboard Advertising Abortion Law Loophole

On a billboard off of I-95, two 1950s-looking gals are depicted drinking Cokes and shooting the breeze about abortion.

"Susan, you're telling me I do not have to endure a waiting period when I have an abortion?" one of the women says.

"That's true if you're a SATANIST!" the other replies.

Next to the ladies is a symbol of a goat head in a pentagram and a message about an abortion ritual.

The Satanic Temple of Salem in Massachusetts bought the billboard space in North Miami Beach, visible from the northbound lane of Interstate 95, to display a quirky new ad about the temple's "religious abortion ritual," which allows members of the religious organization to circumvent state restrictions on abortions. In Florida, anyone seeking to terminate a pregnancy is required to have an ultrasound and go through pre-procedure counseling, but the Satanists believe a religious exemption can be cited to get around that.

As a card-carrying member of the Satanic Temple, I'm pleased to see my annual contribution is going to good use. 

 

Hail Satan!

Hail Satan!

Fun fact: the term satan in ancient Hebrew can be translated as "advocate for the prosecution"

Seriously though, I hope they're successful. I read the Satanic Temple fundamental tenets and I think maybe I'm actually a Satanist??

 

I

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

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.

VI

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Not my type of music (my tastes tend more towards surf goth) but that does look interesting. I wonder what my VERY high church Church of England ex-husband would say if I told him I was a Satanist now.  

[Prizm123 1,086]

he is quite eloquent and has an interesting story to say the least. his views are fairly close to what mine are when it comes to the church and religion, although mine is centered more towards evangelicals than the catholic church

what is funny is that this was the first actual band my wife saw in concert when they opened for Slipknot since she came here and she quite enjoyed it😄
