State Beats Hell Out Of Satanic Temple Effort

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and his legal team achieved an important win for life and the rule of law this week by successfully securing the dismissal of the Satanic Temple’s lawsuit challenging Indiana’s landmark 2022 pro-life law.

“This lawsuit was ridiculous on its face, but this court decision is important because it sustains a pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally sound,” Rokita said. “We Hoosiers continue to build a solid culture of life whether satanic cultists like it or not.”

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade in the 2022 Dobbs case, Indiana was the first state in the nation to enact a sweeping pro-life law.

Among other things, the Satanic Temple baselessly argued that Indiana’s pro-life law violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by criminalizing the exercise of the satanic ritual of abortion.
