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