A federal court in Texas rejected a lawsuit last week by the Satanic Temple that argued aborting unborn babies is a satanic "ritual" and therefore the state's pro-life laws violate its members' First Amendment rights. In 2021, The Satanic Temple filed its initial lawsuit against Texas Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Cecile Young claiming violations of free speech and religious freedom. The group took issue with the state's waiting policy and informed consent policy that requires a pregnant mother be given the opportunity to hear her unborn baby's heartbeat and see the child's image on an ultrasound.
