Derry, New Hampshire (CNN) -- The war over women arrived in New Hampshire this week -- in the form of a press release. "New Shaheen Campaign Ad Highlights Scott Brown's Anti-Choice Record and Extreme Bill He Introduced," reporters were informed Tuesday morning by email, just hours before Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was to host a women's-themed campaign event in Derry. Shaheen's ad is a brutal one -- particularly against someone who is a self-proclaimed "pro-choice independent Republican." In ominous tones, the ad reveals that when he was a state legislator in Massachusetts, the state Brown used to live in and later represented in the U.S. Senate, he backed a bill that would "force women considering abortion to look at color photographs of developing fetuses."Jeanne Shaheen releases a campaign ad hitting Scott Brown's record on abortionBrown identifies as a "pro-choice independent Republican"Shaheen leads Brown by 6 points in latest poll
Shaheen does not, so she brings up another sore point for Brown: his decision to sell his home in Massachusetts last year and move to the _ to run for Senate.
