A Democratic lawmaker in North Carolina slammed the attachment of anti-abortion measures to a proposed “anti-Sharia law” bill by suggesting that residents have more to fear from Republicans than the potential for Muslim law besieging the state’s courts.

Republican members of the state’s General Assembly inserted anti-abortion provisions onto a bill aimed at preventing “foreign laws,” including the typically-feared “Sharia law,” from playing a role in the state’s family court system. Critics believe the strict measures will result in the closing of nearly all North Carolinian abortion clinics.

In a speech before his fellow legislators, State Sen. Josh Stein (D-16th) mocked the “irony” of lawmakers tacking on provisions that, in his view, would set back women’s rights to that of half a century ago.

1. thanks for posting

it is an ironic as well as a moronic law. i heard on NPR that mcrory said before the election that he would not sign any more laws restricting abortion in nc. we'll see if he was lying or not, i guess.
