Pennsylvania Republican Mike Kelly said Wednesday that the implementation of the health-care law that requires insurance companies cover contraception is similar to Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. After invoking Pearl Harbor and Sept. 11 as “times when America was attacked,” Kelly said, “I want you to remember August the 1st, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates.”
