MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) —The three Democrats running for their party's presidential nomination, together again in New Hampshire on Sunday night, struck markedly different tones when commenting upon the shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic that took the lives of three people.
......................

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, marked the shooting by offering condolences for the victims and arguing "we should be supporting Planned Parenthood, not attacking it."

But Clinton focused most of her ire on the shooting at Republicans, hitting them on both guns and women's health.

"In Congress and on the campaign trail, Republicans that claim they just hate big government are only too happy to have government step in when it comes to women's bodies and heath," Clinton said at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's Jefferson Jackson Dinner. "It is wrong, and we are not going to stand for it."

Clinton added, "How many more Americans need to die before we take action? Common sense steps like comprehensive background checks, closing the loopholes that let guns fall into the wrong hands, even people on the terrorist watch list."..............

She hit this one out of the park. The party of small government is the part of BIG GOVERNMENT when it comes to women's bodies. I wish they had as much control of their mouth and their votes.

Hillary slams Republicans on guns, abortion after Planned Parenthood attack

By Bradford Richardson

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton late Sunday launched a multi-pronged assault on Republicans following the shootings at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colo., calling for more stringent gun control and heightened protections for abortion rights.


“The shooting on Friday was at, as you know, a Planned Parenthood clinic, a place where lots of women get healthcare they need — breast exams, STD testing, contraception and, yes, safe and legal abortions,” Clinton said at the New Hampshire Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. “We should be supporting Planned Parenthood, not attacking it.”

In an appeal for more stringent gun control, Clinton drew a connection between the Colorado shooting, which left three dead, and the terrorist attack on Paris earlier this month.

“This is truly unbelievable, that after what we’ve seen in Paris and other places, Republicans will not bring up a bill that will prohibit anyone on the no-fly list from buying a gun in America," she said. "If you are too dangerous to fly in America, you are too dangerous to buy a gun in America.

“How many more Americans need to die before we take action?” she asked.

The former first lady urged Republicans not to make abortion rights a partisan issue................
