The daughters of Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown took the stage Tuesday to protest a new television ad in which his Democratic rival, Martha Coakley, notes their father proposed a 2005 legislative amendment that would have allowed workers at religious hospitals to avoid giving emergency contraception to rape victims.Behold the irony of castigating Brown on his stance with women to the fact Coakley is trotting out Bill Clinton for an appearance this week.
"My dad would always stand up for the rights and needs of rape victims, and he's kind, understanding and he's a very compassionate father and man," said 21-year-old Ayla Brown. The Boston College senior is something of a local celebrity after becoming a semifinalist in the 2006 edition of TV's "American Idol."
"Martha Coakely's new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics. And as a young woman, I'm completely offended by that," Ayla Brown added.
Arianna Brown, a 19-year-old freshman at Syracuse University, stood beside her sister and said: "My dad is a loving man who is a father. He is a husband, he is a soldier and he is a dedicated legislator. He is a man who cares deeply and would do anything for the three woman (in his family) and the other women of this country."
