Federal judge rejects Satanic Temple’s lawsuit against Indiana abortion law

(Indianapolis, IN) – A lawsuit filed by the Satanic Temple that challenged Indiana’s near-total abortion ban has been dismissed by a federal judge in Indianapolis.

The Satanic Temple sued Indiana because the group wanted the state to allow it to provide mail-order drugs for its members in the state to get an abortion.

The group believed the law violated Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act along with the 5th, 13th, and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The judge ruled the Satanic Temple did not meet its burden to prove there were actual or potential Indiana patients.
