The Satanic Temple criticized the Texas Heartbeat Act with a letter to the Food and Drug Administration saying the law violates its members’ religious freedom.

“The Satanic Abortion Ritual is a sacrament which surrounds and includes the abortive act. It is designed to combat feelings of guilt, doubt, and shame and to empower the member to assert or reassert power and control over their own mind and body,” wrote Matthew Kezhaya, the Temple’s general counsel.
