Satanic Temple loses lawsuit against Indiana pro-life law
“The Satanic Temple had an opportunity to submit evidence. It had notice of its standing defects. And it was given the opportunity to cure them. It has failed on all fronts,” Magnus-Stinson said.
“Ultimately, the Satanic Temple has failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence those facts essential for granting standing,” she wrote.
The temple had “fail[ed] to prove it has suffered any injury in fact” from the abortion law, the judge said.
In a press release following the ruling, Rokita declared that his office had “beat the hell out of Satanic Temple’s efforts to sacrifice pro-life law.”
“This lawsuit was ridiculous on its face, but this court decision is important because it sustains a pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally sound,” Rokita said in the release.
“We Hoosiers continue to build a solid culture of life whether satanic cultists like it or not,” he said.
