It’s not a “religious ritual” if it requires a person (the abortion “doctor”) who is not part of the “religion” to perform the “ritual.”
Hopefully the lawyer for the defense will have their head somewhere other than up their ass. It should be pretty obvious to establish that this is not a religious ritual of any kind.
Paxton should just make abortions illegal and if Satanists want to do their own secret illegal back alley operations then that’s what they will do.
Furthermore even if it WAS able to be established as a ritual, let the law stand, and if a person wants a “religious” exemption when they go in to do their “ritual,” their satanist ass can be exempt from the sonogram requirement.
