CLEVELAND — Hillary Rodham Clinton drew parallels Wednesday between terrorists and the Republican presidential candidates when it comes to their views on women.

She said at an event in Ohio that Republican efforts to cut access to health centers and opposition to abortion rights are "extreme" and likened it to "terrorist groups" and "people who don't want to live in the modern world."

Clinton said the policies of Republican presidential candidates are "out of date and out of touch." She specifically cited candidates Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and John Kasich.

The Democratic presidential candidate was speaking to supporters in Cleveland, a key general election state.

The Republican National Committee quickly responded, accusing Clinton of equating her potential GOP opponents with terrorists and calling for her to apologize for "inflammatory rhetoric."
