The Satanic Temple is opening a second abortion clinic! Donors can vote on the name. My favorites: Beelzabort The Preemptive Stork’s Abortion Clinic, and Ejaculate Misconception Family Unplanning Clinic

That's just marketing. It's a regular clinic otherwise. XD

But even still... they should just make it a regular clinic. Don't give it a funny name, don't put their name on it, don't do anything that will give ANYONE an uneasy feeling about using it when they are in need.

If a woman needs/wants and abortion, she's most likely gone through hell (no pun intended) making that decision. The last thing she needs is to see that her closest option is the 'Hail Satan Abortionarium' or feel that her situation is being used to score political points for some organization.

I fully support TST and all that they do... but this just feels a bit sleazy.

They already have Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic, so this is nothing new for them. It's a creative way to fundraise and helps send a message to those trying to curb women's rights 🤷‍♀️

I see what you are saying, and fair enough. I'd say we do name hospitals and clinics, so I don't see much of an issue on naming this one. If anything, I'm sure there are clinics with normal, pious names, that would outright refuse abortions. So...

I hope so. But up front it just looks like a publicity stunt
