A group which uses Satanic imagery and has a pro-abortion agenda is offering a “free abortion” in a raffle to raise money to “protect reproductive rights”. Michael Robinson, SPUC Director of Communications said: “The violent killing of a defenceless human being is being offered as a ‘grand prize.’”
The Satanic Temple, which instructs its members to “act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures” is attempting to raise $100,000 as part of its fundraising efforts aiming to protect the “right” to kill unborn children by abortion.
The Satanic Temple is offering those who enter the raffle the chance to “win a free abortion” as the grand prize when making a minimum donation of $200. The fundraiser states: “The Satanic Temple will cover the medical expenses for your pregnancy termination up to $2,500. This prize is transferable.”
SPUC’s Mr Robinson said: “The cost of an abortion can vary according to state in America. However, the prize being offered by the Satanic Temple would generally cover the cost of a second trimester abortion which could see the unborn child’s body ripped apart by forceps. To showcase the destruction of a human life as a ‘grand prize’ would be incomprehensible and repulsive behaviour, coming from any other group.
“The Satanic Temple promotes seven ‘fundamental tenets’ which members are encouraged to abide by. While the Satanic Temple proclaims “compassion and empathy towards all creatures” as one of its main tenets of belief, it’s perhaps not surprising that this distorted group promotes killing unborn members of the human family.”
The Satanic Temple’s abortion ritual
The Satanic Temples twisted raffle draw follows their recent claims that abortion is a form of “religious ritual” which “sanctifies the abortion process by instilling confidence and protecting bodily rights.”
Before a woman is administered with anaesthetic for a surgical abortion, the Satanic Temple instructs the woman to “look at your reflection to be reminded of your personhood and your responsibility to yourself. Focus on your intent. Take deep breaths, and make yourself comfortable…You may now undergo the surgery.”
After the unborn child has been ripped apart and suctioned through the vacuum catheter, the Satanic Temple tells the woman to “return to your reflection and recite your personal affirmation. Feel doubts dissipating and your confidence growing as you have just undertaken a decision that affirms your autonomy and free will. The religious abortion ritual is now complete.”
Michael Robinson said: “To turn abortion into a religious ritual is perverse in the extreme. Any woman in the clutches of the Satanic Temple would need counselling to overcome the effects of being part of this cult, let alone hearing such depraved and damaging nonsense in connection with an abortion.”
