10. Don't use the term Sharia Law. There's a better one

Romania had that punitive anti-abortion law when it was a communist country, and any woman who suffered a miscarriage would have to report it to the police. The police were ordered to treat every miscarriage as an illegal abortion (before Decree 770 abortion was the only form of birth control available and after Decree 770 all the abortion doctors had been fired, so Romania was the only country in the world with trained back-alley abortion doctors) and interrogate her most harshly.

So...laws like this mini-Cuccinelli asshole want are Communist.

Interesting thing: the very first thing they did after shooting the Ceaucescus was to legalize both abortion and birth control.
