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

I'm not arguing that fighting religion with religion is a bad idea - I'm saying they're not very good at it. The last time I checked they'd won 3 rulings out of a possible 32. That's across all cases, not just abortion. In the meantime, religious groups that are not inept are winning cases. And the more headlines TST generate, the more posts like this one pop up across all forms of social media and the less attention people pay to legitimate groups that actually can - and do make a difference.

I would urge you to look further into the histories of the owners of TST, one of who wanted to launch TST by publishing a sequel to Might Is Right a protofascist screed that Anton LaVey cribbed from for the Church of Satan.

I also don't think they're entirely about taking people's money. But they sure do do a lot of that and no one seems to know exactly where that money goes.
