The Satanic Temple filed the lawsuit on behalf of its female members who are involuntarily pregnant.
TST says it venerates, but does not worship, the allegorical Satan described in the epic poem Paradise Lost - the defender of personal sovereignty against the dictates of religious authority.
The lawsuit says TST members could and did get abortions before the Indiana's near-total abortion ban law took effect on Sept. 15. It also says the ban"unconstitutionally takes the property of involuntarily pregnant women without just compensation." A woman's uterus is defined as"a tangible thing in which she has property rights," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also mentions that Indiana's abortion ban"subjects involuntarily pregnant women to involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th Amendment" as well as"unconstitutionally discriminates between women who become pregnant by accident and those who are pregnant by rape or incest" and"women who become pregnant by protected sex .... [or] in vitro fertilization.
