Related: About this forumSatanists Use Hobby Lobby Decision Against Pro-Life Propaganda
The Young Turks * Published on Aug 2, 2014
"The Satanic Temple sees your Hobby Lobby ruling allowing corporations to opt out of providing certain forms of birth control because they contravene religious beliefs. And it wants in.
In a press release Monday, the New York-based organization said it planned to use the recent Supreme Court decision to argue that its members should be allowed to opt out of so-called informed-consent laws, which require doctors to read state-mandated material to women seeking an abortion much of it, according to critics, pro-life propaganda.
The Hobby Lobby decision applied specifically to health care plans provided by closely-held corporations, not health procedures obtained independently by members of a religion. But the Temple believes that by allowing corporations to define (and thus not cover) contraceptives as abortifacients, the Supreme Court placed religious exemptions above scientific definitions. And whats good for contraceptives, the Temple argues, should be good for anti-abortion laws. * break it down on The Young Turks.

Mr. LeVey's idea of a Satanist Church may be a joke, but this is a devilishly good joke

Supremes will have to revisit their decision.

I love the way this group took Hobby Lobby and is using it in an amusing but appropriate fashion
I think we should make fun of the legal system more often. Like always even.
- I find the laughter helps calm me when I think of certain idiots sitting on the SCOTUS bench.....

Somebody had to take the Hobby Lobby decision, which is hilarious in its own right, and turn it on its head. Who better than the Satanists?
