The clinic is, despite its name, not only a stunt but also an audacious legal experiment. The temple claims abortion can be performed as a Satanic sacrament, and therefore is a legally protected religious ritual. They plan to use this to sue to reestablish abortion rights that have been rescinded in other states.
