According to the report, The group claims that it submitted five designs to Lamar to be displayed near pro-life pregnancy centers.<\/p>\n In one of the images, a bowl of cake batter is shown with the text, \u201cnot a cake,\u201d next to an image of a sperm and egg with the text \u201cnot a baby.\u201d It\u2019s accompanied by text saying, \u201cOur religious abortion ritual averts many state restrictions.\u201d Lamar reportedly rejected the billboards from the group stating that their content was \u201cmisleading and offensive,\u201d according to the suit.<\/p>\n This latest report follows a recent story that was also first distributed by CBN News in August<\/a>, where TST announced that it was raffling a free abortion to promote the organization\u2019s Satanic abortion ritual while arguing that its members\u2019 religious rights are exempt from any state laws or any regulations that might block access to abortion services during the first trimester.<\/p>\n This is because the organization claims that those who practice the Satanic abortion ritual are automatically exempt from being subjected to waiting periods, mandatory counseling, forced viewing of sonograms, and reading materials as required in many states.<\/p>\n https:\/\/endtimeheadlines.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ricky Scaparo – October 1, 2020 (ETH) \u2013 The Satanic Temple based in Salem, Massachusetts just announced this week that it has sued an advertising company because it refused to display some billboards promoting a ritual offered by the organization to help people bypass abortion rules in some states.
