One of the most ignorant things I’ve ever heard.

On the Wednesday, July 3, The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, MSNBC contributor Joy Reid compared abortion restrictions to “Shariah law” as she blasted North Carolina state senate Republicans for the “sneak attack” of including the restrictions in a bill banning Islamic law in the state. Reid:
“I think what probably happened here is that the legislators in North Carolina looked at what’s happening in Texas and other states where women are fighting these laws, where they’re fighting these bills. Where they’re coming out and protesting, and where it’s becoming national news, and they decided to make the world’s most ironic sneak attack.
You know, I’m sure these legislators couldn’t tell you what Sharia law is, but what they think it is, is exactly what they’re doing in these bills, imposing a religious dictate on women.”
