    For the first time in 10 years, another state has adopted "right to work" laws. Indiana makes number 23. We hear how a Republican governor changed his mind and what the political consequence might be nationwide. Will Indianapolis see protests during Super Bowl weekend? Also, the Attorney General faces questions on "Fast and Furious." On Reporter's Notebook, did "right to life" groups pressure the Susan B. Komen Foundation to withdraw support for Planned Parenthood?
