The Satanic Temple is gaining public support by assisting women facing unwanted pregnancies

Kate Orson watched the Hail Satan documentary to discover more about The Satanic Temple’s beliefs and the alleged reports that Satanists are helping women secure abortions. 

How did Satanism become so mainstream that the US edition of Cosmopolitan published an article in its November/December 2023 issue about performing a ‘Satanic abortion’?

If you haven’t heard of The Satanic Temple, the group behind the new abortion ritual, they have 1.5 million members worldwide, and unlike some Satanists, don’t actually believe in the devil. One thing the Cosmopolitan article got wrong is implying that all Satanists don’t worship the devil. Many do, it’s just that The Satanic Temple seems to be a different, newer form of Satanism, where the devil has been adopted as a kind of mascot to spearhead their cause of fighting for issues such as the separation of church and state, and ‘body autonomy.’ The group see the devil as a symbol of ‘rebellion, rational inquiry, personal sovereignty, and resistance against tyranny.’ This particular branch of Satanism is actually trying to be nice, and they think that helping women secure abortions is the way to go about it.
