The Satanic Temple lost two separate abortion rights cases in Missouri, one in 2019 and another in 2020. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the later case.
Richard Foltin, a fellow for religious freedom at the Freedom Forum Institute, said that arguments under the religious freedom laws are only available for "sincerely held religious beliefs."
Douglas Laycock, a professor of law and religious studies at the University of Virginia, said it might be difficult for the temple to prove sincerity. He also expressed skepticism that religious freedom theories could "change the mind of the five or six justices who are overruling Roe v. Wade." Charles Haynes, a senior fellow for religious freedom at the Freedom Forum Institute, said the temple’s arguments may pass the sincerity test, but likely face other, tougher hurdles.
While the temple has not had success in court on abortion rights so far, Jarry said the organization’s efforts will continue, especially given the latest news from the Supreme Court.
