Sorry to be sending these around so late, I wanted to see what happened
tonight.  You'll see a riff here on the debate and Planned Parenthood for
HRC to use in her town hall in Concord:

   - How many of you watched the debate last night?  Eleven candidates in a
   race to the bottom, especially on women’s health and women’s rights. The
   fact-checkers are already having a field day.  But the Republicans’
   comments aren’t just factually inaccurate, they’re deeply out of touch and
   out of date.
   - They want to defund Planned Parenthood so badly that they’re going to
   try to shut down the entire federal government, no matter the consequences
   for our country.  We’re talking about a women’s health service that
   provides half-a-million breast cancer exams every year.
   - Here in New Hampshire, you know all about this.  Last month, your
   Executive Council cut off funding to Planned Parenthood in this state.  Let
   me rephrase that:  three men on the Executive Council voted to deny women
   across New Hampshire the healthcare they need and deserve.
   - I’d like them to meet the mom who caught her breast cancer early
   thanks to a screening… or the teenager who avoided an unintended pregnancy
   because she had access to birth control… or the survivor of sexual assault
   who turned to Planned Parenthood for emergency contraception, STD testing,
   and support.
   - These attacks are just wrong.  And it’s not going to work.  Carly
   Fiorina was way off the mark on a lot of issues last night, but she did say
   one thing that was absolutely correct: Women all over this country hear
   very clearly what Republicans are saying.  We’re listening and we’re not
   going to forget.
