If Christian business owners cannot be compelled to
violate their faith, why should the same protection not apply to
Satanists? That's the argument the Satanic Temple is making to claim
that, in the wake of the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling, women who
share their beliefs should not be forced to follow some of the more
restrictive state-level abortion laws to crop up in recent years.
Specifically, the Satanic Temple wants women to be exempt
from having to view legally mandated "informational" materials — which
it calls "biased" and "medically invalid" — prior to having an abortion.
Dozens of states require women to attend counseling before receiving an
abortion, while 10 mandate that they receive written materials before
undergoing the procedure, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Obamacare but I guess they can give it a try.
