The Satanic Temple is opening a second abortion clinic! Donors can vote on the name. My favorites: Beelzabort The Preemptive Stork’s Abortion Clinic, and Ejaculate Misconception Family Unplanning Clinic
The Ginni and Clarence Thomas Center for Reproductive Rights & Conflict of Interest
That's a winner.
Aborty McAbortface is another personal favorite.
way better than my lame submissions:
Sigourney Reaper's Removal Services
BetterOffWithoutYou Trimming and cutting
Blood and Memory Stains, trains and automobiles
Oh, wow. I really love it.
"The Ronald Reagan Abortion Clinic for Tolerance and Equality"
"Thoughts and Prayers" - imagine all the free advertising!
TST's abortion campaign - which is strongly opposed by multiple pro-abortion support groups in multiple States - is a classic example of how they operate.
Not only are they depriving legitimate pro-abortion groups of attention and funding, they are getting people to donate money for their business.
New Mexico, where their current clinic is, has no problem with abortion. I see they're not naming the state where this new one will be but I'm betting it will be somewhere equally trouble-free for those seeking an abortion.
What this 'competition' is doing, like all TST's fundraisers, is getting you to fund their start up costs in an abortion friendly State without any requirement to give anyone a return on that donation.
If you want to support pro-abortion causes - and you should - support organisations who will actually help people.
I would agree they aren't the "most suited" organization to save abortion as there are many groups, like Planned Parenthood and others that are more dedicated to abortion access in the hardest places to obtain them. As far as I understand the TST's primary focus is asserting freedom of association and ensuring government policy does not favour one particular religion. Abortion rights are then a corollary campaign under that.
If a woman's right to choose is being needlessly restricted due to religious pressures, using a group registered as religious to curb them would occur to me as a reasonable route to pursue simultaneously, even if not all the money would have been donated to groups that specialize in abortion access.
Which would be fine if they were actually effective at anything besides trying to get money from people. They've lost every abortion related legal action they've started so far.
By contrast, a religious group (the so-called 'Hoosier Jews for Choice') that aren't inept and can actually be effective and aren't more interested in your bank balance than your politics secured a landmark ruling for abortion rights in April this year.
TST''s finances are utterly opaque - only their two owners (because it is a business) know what comes in and what goes out and they aren't telling. There are much better groups to donate both time, effort and money to instead of some very dodgy group with a worrying reputation.
I don't have the 666 to spend but I think the Gestational Operation Practice Abortion Clinic, or GOP Abortion Clinic for short, would be a swell name.
Satanic temple abortion centers? Can we make them tax exempt too?
The Satanic Temple is already recognized as a tax exempt religious institution by the IRS.
I was more stating if they can classify these abortion centres as religious sites, then they would qualify. Not sure if they're able to, or even willing.

Your Friend In Deed Abortion Clinic
The Texas State Legislature's Satanic Abortion Clinic
This is pithy on it's face. I'm not sure of the utility of opening a "Satanic Clinic" from the perspective of women in need of health care services.
That's just marketing. It's a regular clinic otherwise. XD
But even still... they should just make it a regular clinic. Don't give it a funny name, don't put their name on it, don't do anything that will give ANYONE an uneasy feeling about using it when they are in need.
If a woman needs/wants and abortion, she's most likely gone through hell (no pun intended) making that decision. The last thing she needs is to see that her closest option is the 'Hail Satan Abortionarium' or feel that her situation is being used to score political points for some organization.
I fully support TST and all that they do... but this just feels a bit sleazy.
I hope so. But up front it just looks like a publicity stunt
Pretty distrustful of TST. Deaddomain on youtube did a video on their shenanigans
Having no idea who, or what kind of channel "Deaddomain" is, I did a quick GoogleFu and found this interesting take from a TST member that seems to make sense of what I suspected this kind of sensational video title would be about.
Sensation is probably not how id describe i suppose, and i think they do also talk about how there are likely pockets of tst members that are, though i would have to rewatch to remember all the details. So watch the video, read that article, do some of your own research if so inclined. Maybe ill check out some claims from the article later, cant really dig right now.
