Obama orders end to restrictions on hospital visits for same-sex couples

Same-sex couples will now face fewer restrictions at hospitals. President Obama has directed the Department of Health and Human Services to end discrimination against gays and lesbians when it comes to hospital visitation rights and end-of-life decisions. Tanya Snyder has more.
And also from DC., people are gathering to push for legislation that would give Washington a vote in Congress or full autonomy over local issues.  President Obama issued a statement in support of the effort today, urging congress to "finally pass legislation that provides DC residents with voting representation and to take steps to improve the Home Rule Charter." House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he intends to bring the DC Voting Rights Act to the House Floor for a vote next week.
