This is not a parody. I wish it were.
An outpost of the Satanic Temple has established its own abortion clinic, which offers a “protective rite” to ward off unwanted feelings about abortion. As the website declares, “The Satanic Abortion Ritual is a destruction ritual that serves as a protective rite. Its purpose is to cast off notions of guilt, shame, and mental discomfort that a patient may be experiencing due to choosing to have a legal and medically safe abortion.”
Since one of the purposes of the rite is to “cast off notions of guilt,” it looks like the main thing which is to be “destroyed,” and from which one is to be “protected,” is conscience.
The ritual involves the recitation of several charms. Before the abortion, the woman is to intone Satanic Tenet III, “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone,” and Satanic Tenet V, “Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.” After the abortion, she is to pronounce the Satanic Personal Affirmation, “By my body, my blood. By my will, it is done.”
