With all the attacks on women's rights in this country coming from Christians, we guess it makes sense that it would be Satanists fighting back!

The Satanic Temple has been fighting a legal battle in Missouri over laws forcing women to jump through extra hoops to get abortions — making them one step closer to illegal.

Hilariously they're using the infamous Religious Freedom Restoration Act — yep, the one businesses have been using to refuse service to the LGBT community — as their central argument.

"Mary Doe" says she was forced to view an ultrasound of her fetus and read a "life begins at conception" pamphlet — as well as waiting 72 hours — before getting an abortion.

Her lawyer argues these medically unnecessary steps shouldn't be forced upon her because she "adheres to principles of the Satanic temple" and "has deeply held religious beliefs that a nonviable fetus is not a separate human being but is part of her body and that abortion of a nonviable fetus does not terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being."

The Satanic Temple's Jex Blackmore explained:

Wow. Just… holy shit!

Before we get started here, can we just say it's refreshing when a misogynist piece of shit espouses their misogynist piece of shit views in public, rather than hide them and act on those ideas in their work?

Anyway.

Courtland Sykes, Republican Senate candidate in Missouri (pictured above supporting fellow GOP Senate candidate and alleged pedophile Roy Moore), was questioned on social media about his views on women — apparently due to some questionable comments he made in a September interview.

Or maybe it was his posting of gross memes like this:

This is so f*cked up.

On Monday night, a bunch of racist asshats in Missouri showed us how disgustingly awful Donald Trump's America is ALREADY shaping up to be.

White spectators at a Warrensburg High School basketball game literally turned their backs to the court when black students from the opposing Center High School's team were announced before the match.

The bigots also held a Trump/Pence banner, just in case we couldn't figure out which orange anus had inspired them to behave so atrociously.

A woman named Toniaa Lakylia Nunn caught the disgusting display on camera, posting the videos to Facebook. Take a look (below):

Justice at last!

Sarah DeLeon's family has lived the last 27 years without any answers as to why their daughter was murdered at the young age of 19… but we're happy to say her cold case may finally have been solved.

That's because new DNA evidence just linked 48-year-old Carolyn J. Heckert of Smithville, Kansas to the 1989 homicide — and she and the victim have quite the history!

According to reports, Carolyn (above, left) and Sarah (above, right) were both involved with the same man right before the latter's body was found stabbed to death and with a head injury on some local train tracks.

However, here's where this murder mystery gets even more mysterious…

This is bone-chilling — and we can only hope that this time, justice will be brought for ALL victims of this man.

On Sunday in Benton County, Missouri, police arrested Kylr Yust (above, right), a man reported to be 27 or 28 years old, in connection with the disappearance of 21-year-old Jessica Runions (above, left) on Thursday night.

Yust is currently being held in the Benton County Jail on charges of "knowingly burning" Runions' vehicle, officers have no idea about Runions' whereabouts.

The last time family and friends saw Runions, she was at a party with

Things like this just shouldn't happen.

Destiny Clark, a 14-year-old girl living with her family in Warrenton, Missouri, took her own life last week — and her mother and father now say the cause was relentless bullying by her classmates.

The girl and her parents had just moved to Warrenton from another city in Missouri, and Destiny was having trouble transitioning into making new friends for her eighth grade year at school.

Her mother, Stephanie, explained to reporters that the teenager was very concerned with what other people thought of her, and wanted everybody to get along:

"She wanted everybody to like her and she wanted to like everybody else."

Stephanie and her husband Kurtis tried everything — counseling, therapy, and even considering home school options — but Destiny's father said nothing worked:

"We felt very helpless. We talked to her and talked to her and talked to her. And just trying to get her to understand that it's, you know, let it roll off your back."

While the school district in Warrenton won't comment on Destiny's case, her parents revealed that she hanged herself two weeks ago on a pull-up bar in her room just days after the bullying led to the girl being involved in a fight at school.

Family members found Destiny, and cut her down from the bar; she was rushed to the hospital and while initially her loved ones remained optimistic that she might survive, she passed away several days later.

Ugh.

We are so, so sorry to have to report this horrible news as her parents have come forward hoping to raise awareness of Destiny's death, if only to prevent future instances like this with other teenagers.

With matching butterfly-themed tattoos to remember their daughter, Stephanie reveals a new mission in her life moving forward from the awful tragedy:

"Everybody started saying, ‘Fly high, Destiny,' And it caught on. We're trying to make the best of everything and hoping we can make an impact so other kids won't feel the way that she did."

So powerful.

End bullying!!! Destiny's life should not have ended this way!!

You tell 'em, Mikey!

Michael Sam originally found fame while playing College Football at the University of Missouri, so it would make sense that he feels connected to the Show-Me State.

Unfortunately for the out sportsman, the Show Me State is just the latest place in the US to try and pass a discriminatory Religious Freedom Bill SJR 39.

However, we're happy to say that Michael is reportedly planning on returning to Missouri, not to play football again, but to do his best to fight the anti-gay law!

TMZ caught up with the ex-NFLer in West Hollywood on Tuesday night where he announced his decision, saying:
