(CBS News) Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., an ardent opponent of the contraception mandate that went into effect Wednesday, is comparing the beginning of the mandate to the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the September 11 terrorist attacks.

"I know in your mind you can think of the times that America was attacked," Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., said during a news conference. "One is December 7th, that's Pearl Harbor Day; the other is September 11th and that's the day of a terrorist attack. I want you to remember August the first 2012 the attack on our religious freedom. That is the date that will live in infamy along with those other dates."

"Today is the day that religious freedom died," Kelly said.

My mind is blown.

I believe that we should start lobotomizing our representatives post election.

Plus chemical castration to prevent them from reproducing.

Do some of these people even think before they say stuff?

I understand being against this mandate, but comparing it to Pearl Harbor and 9/11? Really?

f*ck america

people cry about this but then ignore that public funding is used for roads on which people drive to get abortions.

you would think these people with such superior morals would stop paying taxes since they directly fund baby killing.

their motto should be "in for a penny in for a... ok, we are only in for a penny."

And our stupid country gets more stupid - literally, by the hour.

:lol:

I don't think it's possible for a smart one to replace them...there are no smart leaders, just varying degrees of morons

How is it an attack against anyone? Nobody is forcing anybody to use birth control.

This guy is crazy, but contreception should not be coverved by healthcare.

along with greater access to birth control, women will get better access to preventive care.

examples

I seem to get migraines every time a Republican open their mouth lately.

I'm gonna wind up being addicted to painkillers soon.

Thank goodness drug addiciton rehab/therapy is covered my by insurance plan.

What politicians saying stupid things, next up athletes thanking Deity for their success.

"No woman should have to chose between seeing her doctor and putting food on the table for her family. Now many women won't have to make that difficult choice any longer," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius saidarticle

Hooray for using ridiculous exaggerations in response to other ridiculous exaggerations!

Good to know as a man, there' s no controversy over viagra, Vasectomies, or any male contraception already being covered by insurance.

[QUOTE="jimkabrhel"] No, but it is covered by insurance, and not required for men. It's a luxury. Sme women need contraceptives for medical reasons, not for sexual reasons. I can't think of a non-sexual reason for needing a boner.jimkabrhel

Is it required by law though? Isn't that what we're arguing here?

If insurance companies want to cover things like contraception or ED pills that's fine, that's their choice. But to require to do that but law is a whole different story.

It doesn't matter how they can pay for it as long as taxpayers aren't forced to and insurance companies aren't forced to. Key word is "force".

You know that guy who is the first one to mention Hitler at the drop of a hat in an internet argument? That's this guy.

Loss of life will always trump government redistibution of wealth in terms of tragedy. That said, redistribution of wealth sucks too, but not as much.

Edit: Actually, I forgot that some forms of birth control are abortive, so yeah, in terms of lives lost there could be significantly more dead from insurance sponsored abortions than from Pearl Harbor and 9/11. That is a problem that more needs to be addressed with abortion laws than with government insurance policy.

This guy is an idiot. If the govt was forcing pills down womens throats then sure, it would be an attack on freedom, but this isn't the case.

The unfortunate FACT is without birth control and abortion, crime rates would be staggering. They called it relative morality when I was in school.

Comparing birth control to terrorism and war. Wow...
