Ohio congressman outraged by ad with daughters


CINCINNATI (AP) — A freshman Ohio congressman says an ad showing his two young daughters went too far in the heated debate over health care.

A spokesman says southwest Ohio Democrat Steve Driehaus was outraged by an advertisement Wednesday in The Cincinnati Enquirer featuring a large photo of him with his daughters.

The ad was paid for by the Committee to Rethink Reform, a Washington-based group opposed to the health-care overhaul nearing a vote.

Committee spokeswoman Sarah Longwell says showing the children was a mistake and that the group will take out another ad to apologize.

The Enquirer ran its own full-page retraction and apology today.

Driehaus says he will oppose any health-care legislation that allows federal funds for abortions.
