We read:
"Self-described, pro-life Democratic congressman from Ohio has won an initial battle to keep an anti-abortion group from posting billboards that accuse him of voting for tax-funded abortions.
U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus says that the pro-life group the Susan B. Anthony List is lying about his record when it claims that by voting for Obamacare he voted for tax-funded abortions.
Driehaus filed a complaint with the state elections commission to prevent the ad campaign, and on Thursday a three-member panel voted to allow the case to go to a full hearing in front of the Ohio Elections Commission.
Driehaus, who is facing Republican Steve Chabot, is basing his complaint on a criminal statute that makes it illegal to make “a false statement concerning the voting record of a candidate or public official.” Chabot previously held the seat but lost to Driehaus in 2008.
“In an act of desperation and fear, Rep. Steve Driehaus is attempting to use a criminal statute to silence his critics,” Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser responded to LifeNews.com. “It is a fact that Steve Driehaus has voted for a bill that includes taxpayer funding of abortion.”
For now, the billboards remain unpublished pending the Commission’s findings.

"makes it illegal to make a false statement concerning the voting record of a candidate or public official."
If that's the case, it would make every liberal and Demoncrat running for office a criminal!
Willy wants to know. How can the government claim it is an individuals right to an abortion under privacy granted by the constution. Then, tell us that We have give up that right & accept Obamacare?
