A FORMER Saturday Night Live star has sparked controversy for saying the Sandy Hook massacre is "what you get when you forget the Ten Commandments".

Victoria Jackson, who starred on SNL back in 1975, also drew a comparison with abortion on Twitter.

"My friend Jim Riley posted: "Wasn't the Connecticut killer just doing what abortionists do every day? It's a wonder we don't have more 20 year old "dads" doing what women and doctors have been an accomplice to for years in America. When you forget the TEN COMMANDMENTS, people, THIS is what you get."'

Jackson, now a political commentator and Tea Party favourite, also lashed out at US President Barack Obama's tearful press conference.

"Obama dramatically wiped a tear as he said, "The majority of those who died today were children - beautiful little kids ... They had their entire lives ahead of them - birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own..."

"YEAH OBAMA. SAME AS THE MILLION BABIES YOU HAD ABORTED THIS YEAR.

"ARE YOU CRYING FOR THEM?!"

The social media comments came as internet trolls continue to create sick Facebook pages about the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, which left 20 children and seven adults dead.

There are Facebook pages called "Thank god for Sandy Hook because they dident (sic) read the good book". The same user has also created other poorly spelled pages, including "Christmas this year went from iPhones to head stones."
