Cosmopolitan magazine is openly encouraging women to abort their unborn babies in satanic ceremonies that were first created by The Satanic Temple (TST) on social media platform Instagram.
The magazine recounted the experience of one 37-year-old mother of three who visited a Satanic abortion clinic in New Mexico, claiming that she found it to be “just very supportive” before going on to explain how its online audience – predominantly young women interested in fashion and gossip – can try it for themselves over several posts.
The first slide suggests young women “bring a mirror” into which they can gaze and reflect on their “personhood” before taking abortion pills. The second recommends reading aloud the so-called tenet, “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.”
“Take the medication and immediately afterward, recite: Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs,” the instructions continue. To complete the abortion, the post states, one must recite the words: “By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done.”
The last slide recommends that those aborting their children should encourage “as many loved ones as they’d like” to participate and should consider lighting candles or dressing up for the occasion.
Cosmopolitan continued to push Satanic abortions in another post on the platform, clarifying that it is a real trend that has “managed to piss off abortion opponents and reproductive free fighters alike.” It adds elsewhere the trend may be “the most genius reproductive justice play of our time.”
