The Satanic Temple has issued a statement on Monday in which they want their followers to be excused from informed consent bills, regarding women who want abortions. They want a similar exemption as Christian company Hobby Lobby, which was not required to cover various contraceptive and abortion-inducing medications and procedures, because of the organization's religious views.

"While we feel we have a strong case for an exemption regardless of the Hobby Lobby ruling, the Supreme Court has decided that religious beliefs are so sacrosanct that they can even trump scientific fact. This was made clear when they allowed Hobby Lobby to claim certain contraceptives were abortifacients, when in fact they are not. Because of the respect the Court has given to religious beliefs, and the fact that our beliefs are based on best available knowledge, we expect that our belief in the illegitimacy of state­mandated 'informational' material is enough to exempt us, and those who hold our beliefs, from having to receive them," according to the statement released by the group that worships the fallen angel Lucifer, aka the Devil.

The Satanic Temple further expressed the views regarding the issue of informed consent bills for abortion.

"Informed consent bills ­­ requiring abortion providers to give their patients official "informational" material regarding the procedure ­­ have been criticized in the past for providing biased and false information to women in a bald effort at dissuading them from abortions. Such materials have included claims of a link between abortion and breast cancer, as well as claims regarding a depressive 'post­abortion syndrome,' both of which The Satanic Temple view as 'scientifically unfounded' and 'medically invalid' and therefore an affront to their religious beliefs. While The Satanic Temple (TST) are not the first organization to criticize the state­mandated abortion materials as false and/or biased, they are the first to offer an exemption from such materials on religious grounds," said The Satanic Temple, according to a CNS News report.

The spokesman of the aforementioned demonic group explained why he thinks the restriction on abortion affects his religious beliefs.

"All women who share our deeply held belief that all their personal choices should be made with access to the best available information, undiluted by biased or false information, are free to seek protection with this exemption whether they are members of The Satanic Temple or not. We merely contend that we are in a unique position to argue the merits of this belief, as it is fundamental to our religious philosophy," said The Satanic Temple's spokesperson, Lucien Greaves.

In other Hobby Lobby news, the Christian company's President Steve Green plans on creating a Bible Museum which is expected to be unveiled in Washington, D.C. three years from now.

"This nation is in danger because of its ignorance of what God has taught," said Green in reference to the Bible, in a discussion in New York last year, according to the New York Times, "There are lessons from the past that we can learn from, the dangers of ignorance of this book. We need to know it. If we don't know it, our future is going to be very scary."
