Season 2011 Episode 3410 | 43m 19s

Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius blocks the FDA from allowing girls under 17 to buy the Plan B morning-after pill. Also, we get an update on the deadly protests in Syria and the new financial watchdog bureau faces a critical test on Capitol Hill. Finally, we examine the possibility of life on a 'Goldilocks' planet and the high court takes up a land dispute case in Montana with historical roots.
