Remembering the Patient…
Prior to the Planned Parenthood injunction hearing to halt the clinic’s arbitrary closure, at 8:40AM on Tuesday, June 4th 2019, the Ordo Sororitatis Satanicae (OSS) delivered a Lilituan Ritual of Protection, the “Aegis of Fate”, for the reproductive patients of Missouri.
Though we were asked to cast metaphorical curses upon our oppressors, we felt the attention and concern should remain with the patient and the protection of their health needs for this particular ceremony. However, we cannot speak to the nature of future ceremonies…

Kaylor never said what Hinkle claims he said. …
A Game of “Jefferson City Squares?”
It was surreal.
On Monday, May 6, 2019, I went to a Missouri Senate hearing in Jefferson City, held by the Committee on the Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence.
