A member of the Satanic Temple in Missouri has filed a lawsuit against the state that alleges that her religious rights are violated by the state's abortion restrictions.
The anonymous plaintiff, who goes by the name Mary Doe in the lawsuit because she fears she would be subject to "personal attack," brought her case before the state Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The woman, who has had an abortion, according to local news reports, alleges that the state's requirement that Planned Parenthood — the only abortion provider in the state — distribute a booklet from the state's Department of Health and Senior Services that stipulates that life begins at conception violates her beliefs as a member of the Satantic Temple.
