It is disturbing, deeply disturbing for all Christians, but not unexpected, that the Satanic Temple is about to open an online abortion clinic named “The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Abortion Clinic” in New Mexico. The name is obviously in reference to Supreme Court Justice Alito who authored the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization majority opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade, and it is an attack on something that has caused liberals and Satanists, great pain. It is not lost on me the significance of those that have united against Dobbs v. Jackson. From a Christian perspective, I see this as a clear sign of the times, and in my opinion only, the end of days.
“The Satanic Temple (TST) announced it had opened an online abortion clinic named “The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Abortion Clinic” in New Mexico Wednesday.
The Satanic Temple has long advocated for the right to religious abortions or religious abortion ceremonies in the past, even filing a lawsuit against Indiana’s abortion ban on the grounds that Satanists have a right to abortion that contradicts the state’s ban, according to TST’s website.
TST announced Wednesday that it was opening the first religious abortion clinic titled “The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Abortion Clinic” likely in reference to Supreme Court Justice Alito who authored the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization majority opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade.
The clinic will serve anyone 17 years or older in New Mexico at the time of the visit, and patients must be no more than 11 weeks pregnant, according to the website.
Services include financial assistance, emotional support, chemical abortions and religious support, as well as contraceptives.
TST posted the announcement on its Twitter account, citing the temple’s new Telehealth services for “use in the Religious Abortion Ritual.”
Erin Helian, executive director of campaigns and religious reproductive rights director at TST, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the name of the clinic will serve as a reminder.
“Prior to 1973, doctors who performed abortions could lose their licenses and go to jail. In 1950, Samuel Alito’s mother did not have options,” Helian said. “The clinic’s name serves to remind people just how important it is to have the right to control one’s body and the potential ramifications of losing that right.”
The clinic serves a religious purpose because, according to the announcement, TST believes that abortions serve a religious purpose in protecting bodily autonomy. An abortion ritual is described as a “protective rite” that can “cast off unwanted feelings” a patient has about choosing an abortion, according to the website.”
