3 3 an old debate... back in the sp. spotlight.the resolution would be for the court to say that roe is no longer good law. the controversal new law in arizona...that's bringing up the abortion rights debate. debate.and later...don't be a stranger... at a wedding.the new technology... that allows you to know who you will be sitting by... before you even arrive. when it comes to gettiakfas, i need all the help i can get. i tell them, "come straight to the table." i say, "it's breakfast time, not playtime." "there's fruit, milk and i'm putting a little nutella on your whole-wheat toast." funny, that last part gets through. [ male announcer ] serving nutella is quick and easy. its great taste comes from a unique combination

of simple ingredients like hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. okay, plates in the sink, grab your backpacks -- [ male announcer ] nutella. breakfast never tasted this good. better schools. that's what a world-class resort casino at national harbor would mean for maryland. but it won't happen if the special interests get their way. with thousands of local jobs and millions for maryland's schools on the line. we need to fight back. call your lawmakers and tell them to put national harbor on the ballot this november. because it's not up to the special interests, it's up to you.

because it's not up to the special interests, 3 recently, a court temporarily prevented arizona from implementing a law that would criminalize abortions after 20 weeks pregnancy. it is believed to be one of the country's most restrictive laws regarding abortion rights. as athena jones reports...advocates on both sides of the issue say there's been a substantial uptick in anti-abortion legislation in the states in recent years. 3 --reporter pkg-as follows -- the fight over abortion rights took center stage again this week... this time innarizona where a judge temporarily prevented the state from implementing a law that would criminalize abortions after 20 weeks. maricopa county wants to argue that roe v wade

should be overturned. the resolution would be for the court to say that roe is no longer good law. abortion rights groups say it's the most restrictive such law in the country. it's exactly the kind of legislation abortion opponents have been calling for. many of us have known people that were born at the stage we are trying to make abortion illegal at 20, 22 weeks. so, it is a common sense and a compassionate thing to do. advocates on both sides point to a growing number of state laws restricting abortion -- -- with much of the increase coming in the last two years.. something of great concern to pro-abortion rights groups. at some point women and providers are going to cry uncle and say i'm not going to do it anymore. abortion opponents say they have the momentum and according to the guttmacher institute, 55 percent of u.s. women of reproductive age now live in one of the 26 states considered hostile to abortion rights. but neither side is backing down on this central issue in the culture wars arizona is just the latest

battlefield... we're reporting inside mississippi's last abortion clinic... in mississippi -- a law requiring that doctors at abortion clinics be certified ob/gyns with privileges at local hospitals -- was set to go into effect last month, threatening to shut down the state's only clinic -- until a judge issued a temporary restraining order. a virginia law sets up new regulations for abortion clinics -- such as requiring 5 foot wide hallways -- a move opponents say is really meant to shut clinics down. those guidelines are still under review. for most voters, abortion won't be the most important issue in the presidential election this fall. even so -- the outcome in november will surely shape the debate. athena jones, cnn, washington. -----end----- cnn.script----- nasa is very happy, this mornin. morning.cheers! cheers!the monumental goal they reached... early this morning...that's making hi!

clean taste of our cranberries. i cannot tell a lie -- 'tis tasty. okay, george washington, did you take my truck out last night? 'tis tasty. 3 ever walk to into a wedding reception or a party without knowing anyone else in the room? what if your online connections helped connect you with the crowd before you arrived? karin caifa looks at the new trend in social seating. seating. --reporter pkg-as follows -- for dan (prono: don) berger, inspiration came from attending a wedding. i wanted to see where the cute girls were. i didn't know where anyone else was going to be, it was a destination wedding. so i thought to myself, "wouldn't it be cool if i saw a published seating chart before i got to the wedding?" that thought evolved into social tables, his washington-based startup working its way into the event planning business -- do guest lists, to the floor ir - plans for events, to the seating charts. and the cool part is we let guests interact

with each other before or after, based on where they're seated. that last part is what puts "social" on the "table." the platform draws data about guests from their social networks, so planners can seat people with common interests together, hopefully trading awkward icebreakers for more meaningful conversations. planners can publish a guest list before the event to give a head start on the "getting to know you process." and for those who feel that's too much information too soon, there's the option to publish the list after the party too, which berger says more people seem to be opting for, even though he sees online and offline worlds merging. nowadays our online identity is the same as our real-life identity. and we need bridges between those two fact that we spend so much time online. meaning as more people get more social, all that time online could potentially turn into more face time. i'm karin caifa, and you're now, clicked in. -----end-----cnn.script----- no, it's not knives... knives...the amazing this this man is using to cut these veget.
