The Satanic Temple, the group seeking to put a statute of Baphomet at the Arkansas Capitol, has announced its intention to challenge the U.S. Supreme Court ruling yesterday that upheld an Indiana law requiring burial or cremation of fetal remains. It’s about religious freedom, see.

The Satanic Temple didn’t mention it, but Arkansas passed a similar law on fetal remains. It’s part of the broad effort to place so many obstacles on people seeking or providing abortions that abortions become, as a practical matter, impossible to obtain.

...

TST spokesperson, Lucien Greaves, explains: “Although the Supreme Court affirmed the right of states to have an interest in the disposal of fetal remains, their ruling allows for objections to the Indiana Law based on undue burden. This law clearly places an undue burden on the religious practices of The Satanic Temple by interfering with burial rites. These traditions have existed since the birth of organized religion. Rejecting our claim would profoundly undermine a basic cornerstone of religious organizations. It would be profoundly hypocritical for any Church that advocates for religious rights not to support our claim.”

Love 'em or hate 'em, this is a really smart move. Religious groups are working to make it harder for women to control their bodies. At least the Satanic Temple is fighting back.

1. Another good move

I really love how they repeatedly rip the mask off of 'religious liberty' legislation to expose the Christian privilege beneath.
