Huffington Post: Mike Kelly Compares Birth Control Mandate To Pearl Harbor, 9/11

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 10:38 AM PDT

Criticizing President Barack Obama's health care reform law on Wednesday, Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) likened the requirement that private insurance plans provide contraception coverage to two of the most devastating attacks on American soil.

"I know in your mind, you can think of the times America was attacked," he said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "One is Dec. 7, that's Pearl Harbor Day. The other is Sept. 11, and that's the day the terrorists attacked. I want you to remember Aug. 1, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates."

Wednesday marked the first day private insurers must include birth control coverage without charging a co-pay in their plans, per requirements in the Affordable Care Act. The change will affect most women on private health plans, with some exceptions. More than a dozen Republican members of the House of Representatives, mostly freshmen, held a press conference to blast the law for what they said were violations of religious freedom.

Huffington Post: What Arranged Marriages Taught Me About Love

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 10:39 AM PDT

I remember the first time I found out that one of my friends had an arranged marriage. I was at a work function and struck up a conversation with a coworker in which I asked him how he and his wife met. When they told me that their marriage had been arranged by their parents, I was stunned. I had spoken to them many times before, and always noticed how much they seemed to enjoy one another's company. In fact, if someone had asked me to name the married couples I knew who seemed most in love, they would have been near the top of the list.

Huffington Post: Pennsylvania Voter ID Rules 'A Bad Solution Looking For A Problem,' Says Philadelphia Mayor

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 10:40 AM PDT

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter blasted Pennsylvania's controversial new voter ID law, calling it "a bad solution looking for a problem."

"We should all certainly be concerned about the integrity of the voting process. There are a lot of ways to ensure that," Nutter told Talking Points Memo. "But it clearly appears to me that this is one of the most frustrating, confusing, and -- at the moment at least -- poorly implemented solutions to a problem that we're not even sure what it is, ultimately, that we're trying to prevent or going to prevent."

The Commonwealth Court is currently hearing testimony in a case concerning the law, to determine whether it violates the state's constitution. Supporters of the law -- and others like it around the country -- have argued that such measures are necessary to prevent voter fraud. But the state recently admitted in documents submitted at the trial that it had no evidence of in-person voter fraud in the state and that the state had never prosecuted anyone for such a crime.
