Republican Scott Brown’s two daughters this afternoon called on their father’s Democratic rival, Martha Coakley, to take down a television ad that highlights an amendment that Brown filed in 2005 that in certain cases would have allowed doctors to deny emergency contraception for rape victims.
“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics,” Ayla Brown, 21, told reporters at the Omni Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston. “And as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that. Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading and, once again, I’m offended. 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.”
Scott Brown was not at the event, sending his daughters instead as his chief surrogates. Ayla Brown -- who is no stranger to public appearances as a former "American Idol" contestant and a Boston College basketball player -- and her sister, Arianna, were joined by about a dozen other women who are supporting Scott Brown's campaign.

"This is the message: The message is that Scott Brown was behind that legislation and voted for it in 2005,” Angela Davis, co-chair of “Women for Brown,” said this afternoon. “This
is desperation, and it’s disgusting, and she needs to take down the ad."
