The Satanic Temple (TST) has announced it will open a new telehealth abortion clinic in Maine on June 14, offering free services statewide. The facility—provocatively named “The President’s Yuge Most Beautiful Tremendous Satanic Abortion Clinic”—is the third such clinic operated by TST and will launch on former President Donald Trump’s birthday.
The clinic will provide remote consultations and prescribe abortion pills by mail. Patients will only pay for the medication, which costs around $91, while all other services will be free.
TST frames abortion as a religious ritual protected under religious freedom laws and has previously filed lawsuits in several states arguing for exemptions based on their members’ beliefs.
The group’s announcement, available at thesatanictemple.com, also encourages supporters to send “birthday cards” to the White House in reference to the opening date.
The clinic joins existing TST facilities in New Mexico and Virginia and arrives as the number of abortion providers in the U.S. continues to decline following the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
