Satan Worshippers Protest In Support of Planned Parenthood
With more and more of its branches facing defunding from states after outrage over its potentially illegal "fetal tissue" "donation" program, Planned Parenthood could use just about any support it can get. But even in such desperate times, the embattled abortion provider likely isn't thrilled about the optics of one particular support protest this weekend.In response to tens of thousands of pro-life advocates holding protests at over 300 locations nationwide this weekend, the Satanic Temple of Detroit decided to hold a counter-protest in support of the nation's leading provider of abortion. Wearing their black robes and holding their Satanic flag, the group poured milk over bound women, an act they say symbolized the "theocratic" oppression of female bodies.The Washington Examiner provides some of the details:Satan worshipers launched a counter-protest against pro-lifers outside the Detriot and Ferndale, Michigan Planned Parenthood locations Saturday.Clad in black robes, members of the Satanic Temple of Detriot drenched bound women with milk, simulating water-boarding to "illustrate the theocratic agenda imposed upon female bodies." The milk symbolized breast milk, one of the protest organizers explained on Facebook.The group attached a symbol of their temple to the American flag and held up a sign that read, "America is not a theocracy. End forced motherhood."In a statement on the group's website, Detroit's Satanic Temple said they are against "misinformation" and consider their support of the abortion provider a "form of worship.""The Satanic Temple strongly opposes the promotion of misinformation and believes that all people are entitled to make informed decisions about their health, family and future without coercion," the group declares. "We consider our action a form of worship; the rejection of tyranny is an affirmation of selfhood. So long as perverted theocratic systems of power attempt to manipulate our communities and distort truths for political gain, we will rebel."The Examiner points out the Satanic Temple's website also explains that they believe Satan represents "the eternal rebel, enlightened inquiry and personal freedom."Though the initial attempt by Congress to defund Planned Parenthood (which receives over $500 million annually) failed, but several states have decided to cancel their Medicaid contracts with the controversial group. Michigan has recently launched a campaign to defund the group as well, making the issue particularly relevant in the state now. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/satan-worshipers-protest-support-planned-parenthood

But you don't believe in either Global Climate Change or Evolution is that correct?
Of course satanists are pro-abortion. Same attracts same.
You are correct -- climate does change over time -- there is a cycle -- do you know what causes it? But, in addition to the natural change, man's activities exacerbates the normal changes.
And species in fact, can and do evolve, adapt or perish.
And most pro-life ideologues are simultaneously pro-gun, pro-war, pro-torture, anti-environmentalism, anti-health insurance for children hypocrisy attracts hypocrites.
