Missouri Woman, a Satanist, Will Claim “Religious Freedom” to Get Out of 72-Hour Waiting Period...

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"]“Mary” is a Missouri native who wants an abortion… but there are a couple of big obstacles in that state:

… Planned Parenthood of St. Louis is currently the only abortion provider in the state. Not only does Mary live hundreds of miles away, but there is also a dehumanizing 72 hour waiting period between her initial appointment and the procedure itself. This means that Mary must either find lodging or make the trip twice. She doesn’t have the means to do this.
That’s from a GoFundMe page to help cover her costs. But beyond that, The Satanic Temple, to which Mary belongs, is trying to work around the 72-hour waiting period that women are required to go through by invoking the “religious freedom” argument.

You know what, anything to spare this woman the indignity of seeing the displays set up by the Archidiocese of St. Louis in front of the Planned Parenthood in question, I support. Oh yes, I've seen it, its a disgusting display from scum sucking ingrates who don't know when to leave people the fuck alone. In general I think "religious freedom" laws are a bunch of bullshit, but in this case, its the fucking law requiring a 72 hour waiting period, and whatever the fuck type of regulations the state put in place to reduce the amount of abortion providers to just one, that are bullshit.

1. I love the fact that they are using this law in a way those that put it in place never intended.

Good for Lucien Greaves for turning it on it's head. I hope she gets what she needs.

2. Odd, someone here was claiming he's a "sham" and a "hoax".

Maybe we should bump that thread with his good works, and show certain parties what he's accomplished.

6. He can be and likely is all those things.

He can still be right on this. Stopped clock, and all that.

7. This is what he does.

Here, the result is viewed as positive. The other thread, the attempt was viewed as a negative, and he was personally attacked.

It's the same principles based mechanism that the Flying Spaghetti Monster foil is based on. To highlight a problem, and motivate the people who caused the problem to fix it themselves, when they see what the precedent they established can be used for.

9. So do you understand now how the pope can be both, too?

Or will you continue to bash those of us who criticize his homophobia and misogyny?

10. The Pope is held to a lower standard, you know, being holy and all that. n/t

4. LMFAO

Arguing with yourself assures you an opponent at least as stubborn as you, I guess. I wonder if she'll put herself on ignore?

5. I've tried. Forum software wouldn't let me.

I won't be surprised if it occurs to her though.

11. I have to agree with you completely

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]"Religious Freedom" laws are bullshit, but there is nothing wrong with using bullshit to fight bullshit laws like that one.

The only person who should have ANY say in where and when to have an abortion, is the woman.[/font]
