Satanic Temple Triumphs in Red-State Battle for Abortion Rights @alternet

Satanic Temple Triumphs in Red-State Battle for Abortion Rights @alternet: Chalk one up for the champions of religious freedom. Women just scored a major legislative victory, with an assist of sorts from the Prince of Darkness. On Wednesday, Missouri Solicitor General D. John Sauer determined that women are not required to receive an ultrasound in order to have an abortion in the state. The ruling follows the Satanic Temple's decision to sue the state on the grounds that the restriction represented a violation of a woman's personal religious beliefs.
