    After last night's final state-of-the city speech, Mayor Villaraigosa made clear today that he's not done yet. We talk with him about a new proposal for city workers to contribute more for retirement and healthcare. Also, marchers clogged the streets of Los Angeles today in support of comprehensive immigration reform, targeting US Senator Dianne Feinstein. And the Republican National Committee is meeting in Hollywood. Is it making good on a promise to reach into "hostile" territory?

    On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, Roe v. Wade may be settled law, but the "pro-life" movement is increasing demands for bans and restrictions on a woman's right to choose an abortion. We hear what's happening in very Red states and what it means in law and in politics.
