should people have to answer a personal questionnaire before getting an abortion? does it invade their privacy? scott wrote this on my facebook page. the first wave of responses so far, most people have been saying it's an invasion of privacy, but not everybody. we're being to talk to tanya, but hopefully she can get back to us. let's go on to some e-mails right now. we've got a caller non, tanya, are you there? >> caller: yeah, i'm here. >> i understand that you disagree with most of the responses we've had so far. so let's talk. where are you coming from on this? >> caller: i think the questionnaire might help women make more of a decision when they have to stop and answer these questions. it may make them think harder. as long as their names aren't on there, it's not really an invasion of their privacy. a lot of times when you go to the doctor, you have to answer a bunch of personal questions anyway before you have surgery or anything like that. so i agree with it. >> okay. can i put you on the spot, are you pro-choice or pro-life? you don't have to answer. >> obviously i'm pro-life. i've got five kids, but i'm not against other people -- my personal choices have nothing to do with other people's. >> and we've actually gotten a lot of responses from others very much like that. we're just getting started on this -- do you think it is necessary to ask personal questions in order to get an abortion? or maybe you think it's a total invasion of privacy, you believe a person's medical decisions are their own business? or maybe you like the idea of questionnaire and collecting this type of dat that?

off the table. anthony, as you know, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, cia lee. the circuit judge ruled prosecutors can ask a jury to consider the death penalty during anthony's trial next year so it's still on the table. anthony's attorneys had had argued that prosecutors were seeking the death penalty in bad faith. anthony has pleaded not guilty and says a baby-sitter kidnapped caylee. some school lunch menus around the country are getting a makeover. this middle school now serves up a variety of vegetarian options. >> i like the vegetarian

want to stay healthy and have a healthy life. >> reporter: a lesson that may well last far beyond middle school. for today's health minute, i'm elizabeth cohen. welcome back to hln on this friday. an oklahoma judge is considering whether a controversial abortion law should take effect or not. if it does, information from women seeking an abortion would be posted online. their names and addresses, though, would be excluded from that. the law requires doctors to ask a patient questions on a ten-page form that includes a woman's age, race and marital status. women would also have to answer from a checklist why they wanted the procedure. three such examples, it changes the life of the mother or would interfere with her education or career, some examples there. critics call the law abusive and an invasion of privacy, but its proen proponents say -- >> it's strong public policy. house bill 1595, again, i think it's a strong piece of legislation, common-sense legislation. >> 37 probing, intense, intensely personal questions, and it will be posted, their answers, on the internet by month and by county. >> now, the website is supposed to be up by march, 2011, and would cost the state about a quarter million dollars every year. so what do you think about this law? should people have to answer a personal questionnaire before getting an abortion or does it stwat your privacy? richelle is here to share your views. richelle, what are you hearing? >> the initial responses that we have, susan, are people that are saying they thought it was an invasion of privacy but now we're starting to have a real discussion about this. we're going to scroll through some of your facebook comments at the bottom of the screen. you'll be seeing that. then we'll have some conversations right now. tracy is holding, calling from new york. tracy, you're one of the people that's in the camp that this is an invasion of privacy. why so? >> caller: i just feel that everything is becoming so political. women should not have to go through this. it is completely their choice to have this. nobody should ever ask any question of why they're doing this. it's a complete invasion of privacy. >> so it sounds like you're probably suspect of what the motiveses are. you think that the motives are to make it difficult to get an abortion, is that what you're -- >> caller: absolutely. they're going to make it so hard for women to ever be able to do this. no doctor is going to want to do this. women should just be completely able to do what they need to do and just live their life. >> okay, thank you very much. sara iholding from oklahoma. sara, you do not have any problem with this type of questionnaire or posting it online. where are you coming from. >> caller: well, when you have an abortion this question is going to ask you tough questions, like how will it affect your life, your education, your career. these are real-life questions that need to be answered. posting it to the internet, hopefully like the bill is trying to propose, will help reduce unwanted pregnancies. people will read this, reconsider their actions and know there is a lot more to abortion than just getting rid of the problem. selfish is not going to cure anything. i think people need to know about what's going on and -- >> let me stop you. so if it does make a woman think twice about having an abortion, then you're okay with that. >> caller: yes. i think people should consider that. >> sara, thank you very much. sara is calling from oklahoma. daniel is calling from arizona. all right, daniel, where do you stand on this? >> caller: well, you know, i stand where, number one, questions are great, education is great, but what we need to do is you're not going to prevent pregnancies by making it tough for people to have abortions. so a list of questions for someone to think about should be between a health care professional and that person whose very difficult and private choice should be respected. >> it's our understanding the doctor will pose these questions from this questionnaire so it will be a conversation between the woman and her doctor. >> caller: yes, but i'm afraid of the tendency for people to be fearful that somehow their name will get out or the pressure or the seeming pressure is a thing that would be difficult. and again, i say the answer to unwanted pregnancies is educate. >> daniel, we're about out of time. >> make these things available so people don't get pregnant to begin with. >> okay, daniel, thank you very much for your phone call. we want to continue to talk about this. do you think it's necessary to ask those personal questions on this proposed questionnaire in order to get an abortion or do you think that this is a total invasion of privacy? do you believe that a person's medical decisions are their own private business? call us right now at 1-877-tell-hln, e-mail us at cnn.com/hln or text us at hlntv. we have this just in. get out the tissues. the final chapter in the story of jon and kate plus 8. after ten years of marriage, eight children, a tv reality show and a year of tabloid headlines, jon and kate gosselin are officially divorced. a lawyer for kate says she gets the family home in eastern pennsylvania in the no-fault divorce agreement entered today. kate is quoted as saying i am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized and i look forward to the new year focusing on our children. tensions over the health care debate turned into a verbal feud. democratic senator al franken of minnesota refused to let independent senator joe lieberman finish his speech on the senate floor yesterday. >> the senator has spoken for ten minutes. >> i wonder if i could ask unanimous consent for just an additional moment. >> in my capacity as senator from minnesota, i object. >> really. okay. don't take it personally. >> i've been around here 20-some years, first time i've ever seen a member denied an extra minute or two to finish his remarks and i must say that i don't know what's happening here in this body, but i think it's wrong. >> john mccain not happy. apparently senators franken and lieberman resolved their spat later that evening. they were seen talking, laughing, even hugging on the senate floor. a horrible story out of arizona. a 28-year-old police officer is dead after he was accidentally hit by a fellow officer in a high-speed chase. police say they were chasing a car with a stolen license plate at speeds up to 100 miles per hour. the officer who died was putting down spike strips on an overpass when a patrol car slammed into him. authorities are trying to determine whether the suspect's car also hit the officer. the suspect was captured while hiding under a porch. 'tis the season to give to charities, but how do you know which organizations are naughty or nice? well, hln money expert clark howard tells you the right questions to ask before you make that donation. >> reporter: you know historically nearly half of all charitable giving happens during the holiday season? and i want you to know that there are lots of very worthy causes out there asking for your dough, but this is also the time of year that the real slimy scuss-buckets come out of the woodwork. be careful. if somebody calls you on the phone asking for money, never, ever, ever agree to give money over the phone. you don't know that they're legitimately with the organization. they say they represent, and it could even be an organization with a name similar to a respected one, but may just be a phony baloney. in fact my rules for giving to a charity, give to organizations first that you have firsthand knowledge of. maybe a group that you volunteered with in the past or have benefited from their services. second, with any other group, you want to dig deep before you dig into your pocket and make sure they're a-okay. i got info on that on my website. my website, cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> and get more great consumer advice from clark tomorrow and sunday at noon at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. twitter has hacked overnight. people were redirected to a website that had a green flag and said the site has been hacked by the iranian cyber army. we don't know if there is any real link between the hackers and iran. early this morning, twitter posted a message saying

saying an emotional goodbye to his mother after he was forcibly removed from a school bus in october. it is a heart-wrenching story we have been following here on hln. upset and crying, jean paul lacombe was given a few moments to say his goodbyes to his little brother and mother. the father is wanted in connection with tricking a judge into believing he had custody of his son, not his ex-wife. both father and son are now missing. in an interview with hln, diaz says he went to the airport on a hunch the next day looking for her son. >> then i went with my family, my cousins and my aunt, to the airport to look for him. and then i saw jean philippe, you know, at mexicana counter with the passports and i saw my kid sitting down in the rest area. so i grab my son and i told him, please, let's go. and he say no, because my dad will kill you if i run from him. and i say that's not true. and then jean philippe came and i start calling the police. then the police came and, you know, they gave him again because they have the court order. >> i don't want to leave with him. >> come on. you're going to have to get off the bus. >> no, i don't want to leave with him. >> you may have seen this video of 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was forced to leave the school bus and return to the custody of his father. a lot of questions about whether authorities followed proper procedures, knowing the child didn't want to go with his father. the. >> having seen the video there's always things to suggest as far as having the plaintiff's investigator or plaintiff's representatives there. but having the father there there was no way to avoid that. the order was to turn the child directly over to the father. in the future -- if we had to do something like that we would put the father at a different location and then we would bring the child to that location. but the turnover would still be the same. >> prosecutors in san antonio have obtained kidnapping and aggravated perjury warrants for 41-year-old jean philippe lacombe. there has been a major ruling in the casey anthony case today. a judge in orlando is denying a request to take the death penalty off the table. anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. the circuit judge ruled today prosecutors can ask a jury to consider the death penalty during anthony's trial next year. anthony's attorneys had argued prosecutors were seeking the death penalty in bad faith. anthony has not pleaded not guilty and says a baby-sitter kidnapped caylee. police suspect foul play in utah. mom susan powell's disappearance. they say they have become more suspicious of her husband in spite of his alibi. at a news conference yesterday police said her 4-year-old son confirmed the family did in fact go camping. her husband, josh, says he went catching with the couple's 2 and 4-year-old boys in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night on december 7th and the trip did coincide with her disappearance. police say verifying that is important in terms of setting up a timeline, although the officer cautioned giving the boy's story too much weight. investigators also searched the home for a second time yesterday but wouldn't say what, if anything, was taken. susan's father says he hasn't given up hope of finding her alive. >> as her father and here in seattle and this happened down in salt lake city or they disappeared from that area, i feel just totally helpless. i believe she is. i have nothing to say she isn't. other than the facts, the time she's been missing. and as a father, i can't give up the hope that she is alive. >> susan's brother says her sons have started asking questions about her. he says, and we're quoting here, this is about the worst time of year to have the very worst thing happen to you. a u.s. father hit another wall in his attempts to bring his son home from brazil. on wednesday an appeals court ruled david goldman should have custody of his 9-year-old son, sean. he has been fighting to get him back since sean's mother took him to brazil in 2004. yesterday brazil's high court ruled sean must stay there in case they want him to testify. >> this day is ridiculous and everyone knows what's going on. everyone knows the abuse that my son is being afflicted by, and it is very, very sad. and i honestly believe that the justice system does not want to be looked at as a country that is a safe haven for kidnappers that will allow a child to remain separated from their only parent and try to turn that child against that parent. >> sean's mother died last year but his stepfather's family claims he wants to stay in brazil, that the boy does. it is not clear when the high court will reexamine the case. gay marriage may soon be legal in the nation's capital. d.c. mayor adrian fenty signed a bill to legalize it today but congress has the final say over laws in d.c., so the bill has to pass a 30-day congressional review. still mayor fenty said it's the right thing to do. >> marriage and equality is a civil rights, political, social, moral and religious issue in this country and in many nations. and as i sign this act into law, the district of columbia from this day forward will set the tone for other jurisdictions to follow in creating an open and inclusive city. >> supporters expect the bill to pass. opponents say they will continue to fight it. this is a very busy weekend. many of you are leaving home for the holidays, but travel could be tough. it's a mess out there. blame it on a major storm heading for the east coast. the snow is already falling in the north carolina mountains. meteorologist bonnie schneider joins us once again. really tough out there for a lot of travelers in the sky and on the ground. >> that's right. you saw those pictures. a few inches on the ground in the areas of the mountains, but 2 feet expected. if you're flying, you're not alone. we have over 5,900 planes in the sky right now represented here on flight explorer, and the delays are also numerous to kind of match up with the amount of activity we see. you'll see we've got lengthy delays in atlanta, chicago. this is holding steady at an hour and 20 minutes. miami an hour and 30 minutes. washington, d.c., 30 minutes, increasing. oh will it be increasing. we're expecting at least a foot of snow on the ground in washington, d.c., starting overnight tonight and continuing tomorrow. but i want to draw your attention to south florida. this part of the country cannot catch a break. yesterday we had a foot of rain on the ground. that's a foot of water. you can't travel by car when it's raining that hard so you have to go by boat. check out this guy on a kayak. look, that's what you have to do when the weather is this bad and it's still raining there. we had a tornado warning in central miami-dade county that just expired for the homestead area. and let me tell you, this was the second time today we had a tornado warning for this part of miami-dade. so homestead not doing well. there's still rain moving into south florida. also with this big storm. there's chicago, the snow light, more to the north and west but low clouds are causing the delays. snow, rain, wind, you guessed it across the southeast. flooding rains in atlanta, georgia, we're seeing some tremendous thunderstorms. but here's the big, big thing we're watching for tonight and tomorrow going forward. a huge winter storm. 2 feet of snow expected in the mountains and appalachians. once you head up to d.c., philly, we're also looking at snow tonight, overnight and into tomorrow. this nor'easter will hug the coastline and pummel the coast with strong winds, 50 miles per hour for the east end of long island. that means watch out for a blizzard. so not only are we looking six inches of snow, possibly a foot of snow, but once you have that strong wind, wow, it is really looking bad. we're also talking about winter weather warning as well for new jersey, so we'll be seeing heavy snow there. what does this all mean for travel saturday for those of you heading out or doing holiday shopping or maybe taking the week off? well, lots of delays for the the big citieses in the northeast. washington, philly, new york, at least an hour, probably more. also charlotte freezing rain. right now and in raleigh and finally atlanta, georgia, delays at present and delays tomorrow. susan. >> all right, get out those kayaks and skis possibly. we're hoping for a very safe travel season.

woods meeting a woman in his car in an empty parking lot. after weeks of discussion, the two sides hammered out a deal. according to former employees of american media who spoke to "the wall street journal" woods would give rare actress to men's fitness magazine in exchange that "national enquirer" would not print the pictures. american media denies these reports saying they're inaccurate and false, there was no deal. woods' agent declined to comment about this report or any allegations about marital infidelity by his client. also cnn has made calls to woods' agent and to american media

house, stealing their christmas presents and drinking a beer. he's just 4. police in tennessee say they found the boy wandering the neighborhood wearing a girl's brown dress that he took from the nearby house. his mother spoke about how he got the beer. >> he got it out of my father's cooler in the back. and how he got it open, i don't understand, because it's one of those tab beers. he goes into the neighbor's house and taking their presents. it's very embarrassing. >> the mother also says there may be another reason why her son was acting out. we've got a new update in this case to tell you about after the break. stay with us. well, we hope you're having a great friday. we take you back to that 4-year-old tennessee boy who went to a neighbor's home, opened all their presents and was found wandering the streets in a dress that had been wrapped up and he was drinking a beer. a local affiliate is reporting he has now been removed from his mother's home. his mother says the boy's father is in jail and her son is causing trouble just to see him. >> he wants to get in trouble so he can go to jail because that's where his daddy is. >> the boy is staying with other relativeses while police investigate the case, although his mother is allowed to visit him. she and the boy's father are going through a divorce. the boy is fine after being treated at the hospital for alcohol

husband's organses. sounds okay, right, but she had no idea he had just died in a car crash, if you can imagine. a family friend says somehow the organization managed to reach his wife before police. her friend says it made hearing the news, of course, even harder. take a listen. >> very upsetting to her. that's for way for her, for somebody to find out about their loved one passing organ donatio apologized to the family. it says it thought police had already contacted them. rosemary never considered herself obese. >> i always battled weight, but i never thought it was a significant amount of weight, maybe five, ten. >> reporter: but when a neighbor mistakenly called her pregnant, she immediately decided to join weight watchers, now 12 years later 31 pounds lighter, and a weight watchers meeting leader herself, rosemary and the entire weight watchers family are starting to give back in a meaningful, but somewhat ironic way. >> we ask our members, if you lost a pound, bring in a pound of food to symbolize that weight loss. we turn it over to city harvest which in turn donates to the 10 or 12 groups that are in our area. >> reporter: the lose for good campaign is now in its second year, and it's delivering some remarkable results. >> the members have lost over 4 million pounds of weight. they've trbed over 2 million pounds of food. >> reporter: it's an astounding amount of food. but for rosemary, it simply makes sense. >> we have opposite ends of the same rainbow. we're dealing with obesity and these people are dealing with, oh, my, how am i going to pull a meal together with what i have in the cabinet. >> reporter: it's a very welcome helping hand in a difficult economy. >> we can pick it up in the morning and it can be on somebody's table this evening. that's an immediate result. and we can't ask for anything better during this time. >> reporter: dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. xxxxxxxxx tiger woods was the focus of a lot of media attention, even before all the recent headlines about his infidelity. now an explosive insight about one particular cover shoot a couple years ago. the "wall street journal" reports woods agreed to a rare cover and photo spread in men's fitness magazine in 2007. why does that matter? apparently they say it was to keep compromising photos under wraps showing him with another woman. for more, let's go to "wall street journal" reporter emily of this piece. rita, thank you for your time and joining us to explain this. a couple years ago, tiger woods agreed to this photo shoot in this in-depth interview, things that he rarely does, but why did this in particular raise so much interest at the time? >> yeah, well, the "national enquirer" had actually followed tiger woods around in his home in windemere, florida. and a reporter had taken some photographs of him where he met up with fwhoer woman who's not a wife in a church parking lot. this is sometime around the late winter, spring of 2007. >> inside a church parking lot? >> yeah. >> i want to be clear about that. wow. >> yeah. obviously not on sunday, so the place is rather empty. >> yeah. >> and they took some photographs, and, you know, basically, i mean, it turns out the photographs weren't actually very good. that was one of the things that was so interesting about this. and they called up tiger woods' representatives, and they didn't bother to mention that the photographs weren't very good. they just said they had photographs. and i guess they had enough specifics that, you know, tiger woods' people knew that they actually had been there, and had -- they had real evidence of this. >> so at this point they're realizing that there's nothing they can do to fight this? >> yeah. they thought the "national enquirer" enough to go off and actually publish the story. which we're told from people familiar with this situation, that they actually didn't. they might not have even gone with the story at all. so david, who's running american media, and owns the "national enquirer," actually decided to accept a deal that our understanding was offered by the tiger woods camp. which is supposed for another american media property, men's fitness. >> to make this all go away? >> exactly. tiger woods, as we all know, is a very private person and didn't do this sort of thing very often. so, you know, to pose for men's fitness is a big coup for american media. you know, men's fitness competes with men's health and -- >> and also golf digest. >> well, yeah. and actually, no, i mean, golf digest would say not directly. it doesn't compete directly, which is why golf digest which had an exclusive arrangement with tiger woods allowed this to happen. you know, golf digest people who worked there at the time weren't happy about this. but they allowed it to happen because it didn't technically break the agreement they had with the magazine. >> reed, let me ask you this, though. i don't know if you know this in your reporting, the tiger woods' camp, were they not concerned and stepping out and make this move might raise some red flags? because people who know the business and know how these things go, would think it was so unusual? >> you know, they worked with a law firm, who especially specializes in this kind of a thing. i don't know the specifics of -- i mean, tiger's camp did not comment for this story. i don't know what they were actually thinking, or worried about at the time. but i do know that labley and singer is involved, i'm told, and the vast majority of cases involving celebrities suing tabloids, that sort of thing, labley and singer actually represents the celebrity. so they were in pretty good hands when they negotiated this very detailed contract about, you know, what would actually happen to those photographs, and, you know, what he would pose -- what he would answer in the interview and that sort of thing. >> has the "national enquirer" to anyone's knowledge come forth with details on this story now? >> no. they would not comment on the details of the story. in fact, they say photographs never existed. and, you know, i don't exactly know, you know, whether that means -- they said photographs of tiger woods in a compromising position never existed. i don't know whether that means they're denying photographs were ever taken, or it's just that they didn't show enough to really be compromising. >> this is a fascinating article that you've written, the title is "how tiger protected his image." i think a lot of people are wondering that, with so many things that have come forward in the last few weeks. it seems like there's a couple sides to tiger woods. i think people were interested in this type of question, how did he protect his image. reed with the "wall street journal," reed, thank you. >> thank you. now, cnn has made calls to tiger woods' agent and to american media, the parent company of men's fitness and "national enquirer." so far we have not heard back. new video of this little 10-year-old boy in texas. we've been following this story. saying an emotional good-bye to his mother, after he was forcibly removed from a school bus in october. it's a heart-wrenching story we've been following for you. jean paulacombe was upset and crying. he was given a few minutes to say good-bye to his mother and brother. both father and son are now missing, and in an interview with mike galanos, diaz says she went to the airport on a hunch the next day looking for her son. >> then i went with my family, my cousins and my aunt to the airport to look for him. and then i saw jean philippe with the pat ports, and then i saw my kid sitting down in the rest area. so i grabbed my son and i told him, please, let's go. and he say, no, because my dad will kill you if i run from him. and i say, that's not true. and then, you know, jean felipe came and i started calling the police. the police came. and they gave him again, because they have the court order. >> that is the video right there of 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was taken off that school bus and given over to his father. a lot of people are asking whether authorities followed proper procedures, knowing the child did not want to go with his dad. >> having seen the video, there's always a reason to suggest as far as having the plaintiff's investigator or representatives there, but having the father there, there was no way to avoid that because that was the order of the court to turn the child directly over to the father. in the future, we could do something -- if we had to do something like that, we would put the father in a different location and we would bring the child to that location. but the turnover order would still be the same. >> prosecutors in san antonio have obtained kidnapping and aggravated perjury warrants for 41-year-old jean fell leap lacombe. this could be a rough weekend if you're planning to leave home for the holidays. look at that mess. the east coast is bracing for a major storm. heavy rain from the storm is flooding the south, flooding homes and roads, as you can see there. bonny schneider is here with more on this weekend's travel conditions. >> down in south florida, in north miami beach, 14 inches of rain, i've never heard of that much rain from one storm in less than 24 hours. that's what people are traveling by boat down there. if you're traveling by air, you're going to have big-time slowdowns. we have over 4,500 plains in the air right now. for those of you waiting for a flight, a lot of flights are delayed. if you're heading to florida, we are looking at lengthy delays for miami, as well as chicago, atlanta, georgia, plenty of rain here and thunderstorms. also, teterboro airport. that is in new jersey. the rain continues to be a problem. as you drive, we're also looking at snow and sleet. but down in florida, the heavy rain continues from miami-dade. a tornado watch that just expired for that region. i want to take you to north carolina. for those of you that are about to get in the car, this is very important that you know this. driving on i-40 is going to be particularly treacherous. that's a picture of ashville where it snowed earlier today. if you're getting in your car and driving on i-40. say you're heading from hickory and you're driving to the raleigh durham area, you're going to encounter changing weather conditions on i-40, from snow to sleet to rain and even ice. this is very dangerous. so be careful. because we also have blustery winds across north carolina that are gusting up to 30 miles per hour. so that's going to really limit visibility. it's also limited even where the temperature is warmer in atlanta, georgia, columbia, south carolina, getting hammered with rain right now. and we're also looking at rain as well further to the south. to the north, big snowmaker is on the way for tonight and tomorrow. d.c., you'll get a foot of snow, and then watch out for places like new york, particularly on the east end. we're looking for a blizzard watch on long island for tomorrow. a treacherous travel day for today and tomorrow. >> please be careful out there. thank you, bonny. >> sure. tiger woods, balloon boy, white house party crashers, obsessive people in the spotlight. we're going to talk about it with robin meade, along with can charles barkley and kyle petty and david eckersley. here's a preview of "with all due respect." >> i do believe that we have a president now who is as much a celebrity as he is a president. and he's become that, and he's transcended that. we expect so much -- we expect something from him. and there is a group in this country that expects him to fail, wants him to fail and wishes him to fail because he is a black mab. that's how simple that is. and we have to live with that. i mean, we do. >> be sure to catch robin's entire special premiering this sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern. an oklahoma judge is considering whether a controversial abortion law should take effect. if it does, information from women seeking abortion would be posted online. not with their names and addresses, but the information would be online. the law requires the doctors to ask questions that include a woman's age, race, marital status, and women would also have to answer from a checklist about why they're having the procedure. maybe they could say it changes the life of the mother, or they could reply it would interfear with their education or career. those are some of the choices on this form. critics call the law abusive and invasion of privacy. proponents say it could help prevent future unwanted pregnancies. this website is supposed to be up and going by march of 2011. it would cost the state about a quarter million dollars a year. is it a good idea to have to answer those questions, to have an abortion? or do you see it as an invasion of privacy? we're going to scroll some facebook comments you've been posting at the bottom of the screen while we have a conversation about this. jane is calling from oklahoma city. the state where this is all happening. jane, you don't think this is a good idea? >> caller: no. this is awful. my husband and i are college educated, working oklahomans. we made a decision to have an abortion last year despite our genuine best efforts to not get pregnant in the first place. it's incensive to me, and having them questioning my reasoning. we didn't just sit down and go, no, we're not going to do this, we tried to plan how this would affect us. and i can't believe that this is appropriate in any way, shape or form. >> do you question the motivations behind it? >> caller: i don't know. the motivation behind it? it's their form of trying to scare people, i think. it's not necessary. >> okay, jane, thank you very much for your phone call. cindy is calling from ohio. cindy, you're coming from the other side. you think that having this conversation with the doctor, performing the procedure, over this question, you think it's a good idea? cindy, you there? >> caller: oh, yes, i am. yes, i do. i think that the girls need to work out all the options. and it would be good for the world to understand why women actually have abortions. and i am totally against abortion under any circumstance. but not all women have abortions because of convenience, because like the jane that was just on, she had people to talk to, to make the choice to make that choice. not everyone does. when you've got a 14-year-old child that is pregnant by her stepfather, you know, these things can be -- when these questions are asked, i mean, people are having abortions because of increst, overage partners because they're afraid their partner's going to go to jail -- >> you think there would be some good that could come out of asking this type of information and learning it? >> caller: yeah. and it's not just the fear of having the abortion itself, it's why they're having the abortion. >> cindy, thank you very much. calling from ohio. keep calling. we want to talk about this. do you think it is necessary to ask personal questions in order to get an abortion, or do you feel this is an invasion of privacy? if you want to get your comment in, just serb richelle carey hln and post a comment. you can also call us, 1-877-tell-hln. or e-mail us as well. or send us a text, hlntv. now, it's time to meet haley kill patrick, who started girl talk to help middle school girls cope. >> my name is erin patterson, and i'm nominating haley killpatrick as a break-through woman. she truly believes in empowering young women. she wanted to help her younger sister get through middle school. girl talk is a mentoring program that pairs high school girls with middle school girls, and they address the issues that the middle school girls face every day, body image, self-esteem, boys and dating, underage drinking, how to talk to your parents. haley is inspiring and compassionate. she inspired me to make a difference in my community and inspired the 30,000 girls she reaches every day to dream big as well. that is why she's a break-through woman. as president obama focus on a climb change agreement. here at home, one of the keys is improving vehicle fuel efficiency. there are some challenges to that. hi, allison. >> hi, richelle. the administration wants to see 1 million plug-in hybrid and electric cars on the road by the year 2015. but costs could wind up being a major obstacle. a new study from the national research council finds that next year it's going to cost $18,000 more to manufacture a plug-in hybrid than a conventional car. that's because the battery is so expensive. and it could be decades before the upfront costs come down enough to cover the fuel savings. for example, let's go ahead and look at gm's chevy vault. it finds it won't be cost effective for buyers until 2040. gm calls the nrc's battery cost estimates bloated and says they will come down quickly. richelle? >> allison, so if these cars are expensive and may not pay for themselves for years, will they ever really catch on? >> that's a really good question, richelle. to make these cars more attractive to buyers, subsidies are going to be needed. the stimulus act provides a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 to plug-in hybrids next year. that would bring the volt's price tag down below $33,000. that's still a pretty good chunk of change. at the same time ordinary gas-powered cars get more fuel efficient and are a lot cheaper, and don't need to be plugged in. there are challenges to the administration's goal of 1 million plug-ins on the road by 2015. we've got more on this story at cnnmoney.com. and on twitter. dyinger woods was the focus of a lot of media attention, even before all this infidelity made headlines. well, now an explosive insight about one particular cover shoot a couple years ago. the "wall street journal" reports woods agreed to a rare cover and photo spread in men's fitness magazine in 2007 to keep compromising photos showing him with another woman under wraps. the newspaper says woods cut a deal with american media, that company's the owner of men's fitness magazine, and the "national enquirer." according to the sources of the "wall street journal," the "national enquirer" was ready to expose photos of woods meeting a woman in his car in an empty parking lot. the paper says after weeks of discussion, the two sides hammered out a deal. according to former employees who spoke to the "wall street journal," woods would give rare access to men's fit ngs magazine in exchange for a guarantee the national enquirer would not print those pictures. and american media denies, of course, that any kind of deal, saying the reports are inaccurate and false. his agent declined to comment to the "wall street journal" about any allegations of marital infidelity. cnn has made calls to the agent of tiger woods and to american media, the parent company of men's magazine and "national enquirer," trying to get a comment, and so far we have not heard back. take a look at this video. this is new video of a 10-year-old boy in texas saying an emotional good-bye to his mother after he was forcibly removed from a school bus back in october. we've seen this video of the bus ins kent. we've been following this heart-wrenching story for you extensively. jean paulacombe is upset, crying, only given a few minutes to say good buy to his mother and little brother. the father is wanted for allegedly tricking a judge into believing he had custody of his son. the custody was actually with his ex-wife berenice diaz. in an interview with mike galanos, diaz says she went to the airport on a hunch the very next day looking for her son. and listen to what happened. >> then i went with my family, my cousins and my aunt to the airport to look for him. and then i saw jean fe lip pay with the passports, and then i say my kid sitting down in the rest area. so i grabbed my son and i told him, please, let's go. and he say, no, because my dad will kill you if i run from him. and i say, that's not true. and then, you know, while felipe came, you know, i started calling the police. and then the police came. and, you know, they gave him, again, because they have the court order. >> come on. get off the bus. come on. >> and this is that video of 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was taken off that school bus and returned to the custody of his father. prosecutors in san antonio have warrants on kidnapping and perjury charges for the father, 41-year-old jean felipe lacombe. breaking news happening today. a ruling in the casey anthony case, a judge in orlando is denying a request to take the death penalty off the table. anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. the circuit judge stan strickland ruled today prosecutors can ask a jury to consider the death penalty during anthony's trial next year. anthony's attorneys had argued that prosecutors were seeking the death penalty in bad faith. anthony has pleaded not guilty and said a babysitter kidnapped caylee. twitter was hacked overnight. people who tried to go there were redirected to a website that had a green flag and said, the site has been hacked by the iranian cyber army. we don't know if there's a link between the hackers and iran. they said records were temporarily compromised but have been fixed. i've been asking people on my facebook page what they think. tonya says, any info you put online is accessible to someone out there. google yourself once. you'll be amazed at what is out there about you. you really should do that. you'll probably be blown away. gay marriage may soon be legal in the nation's capital. d.c. mayor, adrian fente, signed a bill today to legalize it. but congress has the final say over laws in d.c. so the bill has to pass a 30-day congressional review. still, mayor fente said it's the right thing to do. >> marriage and equality is a civil rights, political, social, moral and religious issue in this country and in many nations. and as i sign this act into law, the district of columbia from this day forward will set the tone for other jurisdictions to follow in creating an open and inclusive city. >> supporters expect the bill to pass. opponents say they will fight it. this could be a rough weekend if you were going to travel for the holidays. the east coast is bracing for a major storm. snow is falling in asheville, north carolina, which got -- could get a foot of snow by tomorrow. meteorologist bonnie schneider joins us what could be facing travelers and shoppers the last weekend before christmas. >> this storm is winding up and hitting the eastern seaboard hard, and it's just getting started. well over 5,000 planes in the air. if you're one of the folks at the airport wondering, why is my flight delayed. you're not alone. we have lengthy airport delays as we switch gears and go to this graphic. atlanta, well over an hour. chicago, miami, an hour, teterboro 45 minutes. let's go a little further north. this is incredible. a foot of water. you can't drive a car. even an suv when you have a foot of water on the ground. so well over a foot. actually 13 inches in the past 24 hours. people trudging through the thick water there, in wsvn, in hollywood, florida, shows these pictures coming in. this has just been terrible for florida. because not only did this region get such heavy rain, but there was tornado watches as well. i think the weather for florida will improve. but tomorrow you'll be facing even more delays due to huge snowstorms that will bring heavy snow to places like washington, d.c. we could see a foot of snow there. and in the mountains, in virginia, north carolina, west virginia, boy, you could see two feet of snow. charlotte and raleigh facing snow and ice. treacherous travel there. you can see the rain kind of exiting florida. but let's talk about the snow, because we are looking at a lot of it. not only heavy rain in atlanta and columbia, and the southeast, but notice once you start heading northward toward charlotte, you're definitely seeing that snow mixing in with rain. it's snowing in winston-salem. the low is powerful and potent, as it travels further to the north and east, it will really pound the shorline with very, very rough surf and strong winds. one to two feet of snow is possible in some of these higher elevations of the mountains. imagine if you live in this area, how do you get out. if you're traveling, in new york, just keep this in mind for saturday, blizzard watch for long island, meaning strong winds that will blow the snow around. that really creates problems of visibility. >> blizzard, all right. hope those people are prepared. thank you, bonnie. weather conditions are pretty miserable in northwest europe. so much snow fell in paris this week, french authorities had to close the eiffel tower for a while. look at that. flights are running behind as much as three hours at the city's two main airports. things aren't much better in britain where two airports had to shut down overnight. it won't improve much over the weekend. tiger woods, celebrity scandals,

wants for christmas is her dad home. so can santa bring this soldier home? happening today, a judge in oklahoma could decide whether to allow online postings about women who get abortions in the state. critics say the law is an invasion of privacy and could lead to harassment. the law would require doctors to fill out a questionnaire for every abortion they perform. it would list the woman's age, marital status, race, even years of education. names and addresses would not be included on the information, though. the senator who proposed the law says it only allows the state to collect data to help prevent future unwanted pregnancies. what do you think about this? do you think it is necessary to ask personal questions in order to get an abortion, or is this a total invasion of people's privacy? do you believe a person's medical decisions are their private business? we want your view on this. so call us at 1-877-tell-hln. if you prefer to, e-mail, that's cnn.com/hln. or text us at

"the wall street journal" reports tiger agreed to a rare cover and photo spread in men's fitness magazine back in '07 to keep compromising photos showing him with another woman under wraps. "wall street journal" reporter reid albergoti told richelle carey what allegedly happened next. >> david, who is running american media and owns "the national enquirer" actually decided to accept a deal that our understanding was offered by the tiger woods' camp which is to pose for another american media property "men's fitness." >> to make this all go away? >> exactly. and tiger woods, as we all know, is a very private person and didn't do this sort of thing very often. so, you know, to pose for "men's fitness" was a big coup for american media. "golf digest" would say they don't compete directly which is why "golf digest" allowed this to happen. you know, "golf digest" people who worked there at the time weren't happy about this, but they allowed it to happen because it didn't technical break the agreement that tiger woods had with that magazine. >> now, american media denies this at all, completely they deny it saying the rorption are inaccurate and false. cnn has made calls to his agent and to american media for any comments. so far we have not heard back. we'll keep you updated. utah police suspect foul play in susan powell's disappearance and we have become more suspicious of her husband. at a news conference yesterday, police said her 4-year-old son confirmed the family went camping. her husband maintains he went camping in the middle of the night on december 7th and that the trip coincided with her disappearance. police say verifying the information is important in terms of setting up a time line that you the officers cautioned on giving the boy's story too much weight. investigators searched the powell family home for a second time but wouldn't say what, if anything, was taken. susan powell's father says he hasn't given up hope of finding her alive. >> as her father and here in seattle and this happened down in salt lake city, they disappeared from that area, i feel just totally helpless. i believe she is. i have nothing to say they isn't other than the facts, the time she's been missing, and as a father i can't give up the hope that she is alive. >> susan powell's brother says her sons have started asking questions about her. he says, quoting here, this is about the worst time of year to have the very worst thing happen to you. we have new video now we want to share with you in a heartwrenching case we have been following on hln. you're seeing a 10-year-old texas boy saying an emotional good-bye to his mother after he was forcibly removed from a school bus in october. upset and crying, you see sean paul lan come given just a few minutes to say good by to his little brother and mom. in an interview with hln's mike galanos, she says she went to the airport on a hunch the next day looking for her son. >> then i went with my family, my cousins an my aunt to the airport to look for him, and then i saw john philippe, you know, at mexicana counter with the passports and i saw my kid sitting down in the rest area, so i grabbed my son and i told him, please, let's go and he said no because my dad will kill you if i run from him. and i say that's not true, and then, you know, juan philippe came and i start calling the police and then the police came and, you know, they gave him again because they have the court order. >> this is video of 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was being forced to leave the school bus and return to the keft of his father. a lot of people are asking whether authorities followed proper procedure. >> he could have waited until the child was outside the bus, but there's no telling what might have happened outside. for example, during the time that he was there, there was another male there that was shouting to the boy in spanish for him to resist. we're responsible for the child and we're trying to execute it. if the child has run away or run into traffic, been hit by a car or injured outside the bus, we would have been responsible for that. so having it in a -- that childed contained inside the bus or where there's less chance of an incident that's probably a better choice than doing it outside. >> prosecutors in san antonio have obtained kidnapping and aggravated perjury warrants for 41-year-old john philippe lancome. a judge in orlando is dee niing a request to take the death penalty off the table. anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter caylee. prosecutors can ask a jury to consider a death penalty. anthony's attorneys can argued prosecutors were seeking the death penalty in bad faith. anthony has pleaded not guilty and said a babysitter kidnapped her daughter, caylee. this is the scene of fire crews fighting a huge fire burning two homes in norman, oklahoma. an overhead shot. the fire is spreading quickly from one home to another one nearby. several homes in the area, they have been evacuated. fire crews, as you see, they're on the scene again. two homes burning in norman, oklahoma. we're talking weather now. intense rain leads to major flooding. that's in south florida. it's gotten so bad in some spots driving is downright dangerous. some people in their cars had to be towed out of flooded streets and this may just be a taste of what you're in for if you plan to travel home for the holiday this is weekend. a huge wintry storm is headed for the northeast and that could disrupt the plans of holiday travelers and shoppers. snow is falling in asheville, north carolina, which could get a foot or more through tomorrow. meteorologist bonnie schneider has been here for quite some time. you're tracking the weather. >> now we're at maximum capacity. we have 6,120 planes in the air. this is the most we've seen all afternoon, so air travel is very, very busy at this time, but those of you that are watching us from the airport terminal, you probably know it's kind of slow because we have a lot of people out there and we have a lot of delays. i'll show you where the delays arty hour and they are lengthy. we have them in atlanta, chicago, and washington, d.c. so surprise washington, d.c., is starting to get delays. this is only the beginning. we're talking about possibly up to 18 inches of snow now for washington, d.c. some of the numbers are coming in and they're just getting higher and higher. so be prepared for at least a foot, i would say, if you're watching us from the washington, d.c., area or if you're traveling there. try to leave as soon as you can because tomorrow we're anticipating even more delays in philly, new york city, charlotte, raleigh. charlotte has been getting freezing rain. raleigh, freezing rain is in your forecast. atlanta, it's thunderstorms, gusty winds really causing a lot of problems. that will persist for tomorrow as well. i mentioned washington, d.c. we just got this in, the university of maryland in college park, they had a commencement scheduled for tomorrow evening at 7:00. it's an canceled. the campus is closed due to incoming snow and, boy, will it snow hard in maryland. we're looking at 10 inches. i will raise that up to at least 15, possibly 18 or more, and then 2 feet out in the mountains of virginia, west virginia, possibly north carolina, and poor florida hammered with heavy rain and it's still raining in miami-dad miami-dade. a foot of water on the ground in florida. very tough for folks driving in this region. >> driving or flying. really best to stay home, but a lot of people have travel plans. women seeking an abortion never expect to see their personal information online, but that could happen in oklahoma. it's already been passed into law but there's one last hurdle for it to clear. what is happening today and "your views" on this. we love for to you chime in, and here is a story we're getting your views on today. an oklahoma judge is considering whether a controversial abortion law should take effect. if it does information from women seeking an abortion would be posted online. the law requires doctors to ask a patient questions that includes a woman's age, race, and marital status. women would also have to answer from a checklist why they wanted to get the procedure. some examples, it changes the life of the mother, it interferes with her education or career. critics are causing the law abusive. the website is supposed to be up by march 2011 and would cost the state a quarter of a million dollars every year. pretty pricey. we want to know what you thought about this law. richelle carey has been tracking all your views today. >> there's quite a few views, so it's been a lot to sift through. we've gotten a big response to this. here is some facebook comments. if you search richelle carey hln in facebook, you can join the discussion. this is what tom wrote. i have had many medical procedures and had to answer many multi-page questionnaires. if oklahoma receives abortion as aprocedure, then, yes, the questionnaires are necessary. erica says it seems very presumptuous and totally offensive to think that a woman had not previously thought about it. we have a call from pennsylvania. i understand you're a mother of ten? >> caller: yes, and i am also of the opinion that women are the most powerful beings on the face of the earth and your privacy has already been compromised when you invite someone to inject something into the most private part of your body. then you further compromise your privacy when you ask the skilled professional to go into the most private part of your body and suck a life out. >> all right, i understand, i understand. make your point. >> i just wanted to say i think the liberal-minded people are prompting beautiful and pure vessels to become mere sperm receptors. >> let me ask you this though. before we run out of time. let me ask you this, do you think these questions are intrusive or not? i'm getting the gist you don't think they're any more intrusive than the procedure itself. >> i think that the majority of young women seeking abortions are young and full of hormones going wild. i think there should be a questionnaire -- >> we're about out of time. >> to slow them down and make them think. >> you agree with the questionnaire because you think it will give the young women pause. rodney is calling us from pennsylvania. you do see some merit to some of the questions on the questionnaire. >> caller: there's some merit to them, but i'd rather see the race be -- those kind of questions canceled out because really has nothing to do with it. what has to do with it is the fact that there is people who aren't able to afford to have the children and have no real options. >> okay. >> caller: i'm the father of a child that was aborted back in the early '70s, and there was really no options then. there was nothing available then for my girlfriend at the time to turn to. >> right. so with these questions now, the 37 questions that they're asking, do you think that it's okay to ask the questions or do you think that it's invasive? >> caller: i think they're too invasive. >> okay. rodney, thank you for your phone call. people sharing really personal stories when we talk about something like this. do you think it's necessary to ask personal questions in order to get an abortion? or is this a total invasion of people's privacy? weep calling at 1-8

home in norman. the blaze is spreading fast to a be second home, possibly a third. they're trying to get it under control the best they can. several homes in the area have been evacuated. we don't know if anyone was inside either of the homes. the information is still coming in. we do know that no one has been injured in either of those homes. that's the latest information. we have confirmed one house is a complete loss. they're doing what they can to save the neighboring home. so we'll bring you more details as we get them here on hln. we have some new insight in cincinnati bengals wide receiver chris henry's final minutes. a witness said he was begging his fiancee to stop the truck she was driving. henry saend his fatal injuries after falling from that moving truck. the neighbor who said he saw it all, said henry threatened he would kill himself if they didn't talk. he said he saw a yellow truck rushing up the driving with a shirtless man clinging to it screaming at the woman "we need to talk." it seems to match a 911 call from a woman. >> i need a police officer on oak road. i'm behind a yellow truck. it has a black man on it with no shirt on and he has his arm in a cast, some black pants on. he's beating on the back of this truck window and the truck is driving. i don't know if he's trying to break in or -- it just looks crazy. it's a girl driving it. >> you said the vehicle is occupied by a black female? >> that's what it looks like, and a black male hanging on the back of it. >> henry died thursday at a charlotte, north carolina, hospital. investigators say the types of injuries he sustained and the cause of death can be determined once the body is delivered to the medical examiner. we are switching gears here and talking about the holidays and 'tis the season to give to charities, but how do you know which organizations are naughty, which ones are nice? hln money expert clark howard tells you the right questions to ask before you make that donation. >> do you know historically nearly half of all charitable giving happens during the holiday season? and i want you to know that there are lots of very worthy causes out there asking for your dough. but this is also the time of year that the real slimy scuzz buckets come out of the woodwork, so i want you to be careful giving donations. one, if someone calls you on the phone ask for money, never, ever, ever agree to give money over the phone. you don't know they're legitimately with the organization they say they represent and it could even be an organization with a name similar to a respected one but may just be a phony baloney. in fact, my rules for giving to a charity, give to organizations first that you have firsthand knowledge of. maybe a group you volunteered with in the past or you've benefited from their services. second, with any other group, you want to dig deep before you dig into your pocket and make sure they're a-okay. i got info on that on my website. my website? cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> and you can get more great advice from clark himself every saturday and sunday at noon and 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on hln "news and views." he will help you save more, spend less, and also allovoid getting ripped off. "star wars," "lord of the rings," add one more flick to this. avatar will blow you away. we'll tell you what it's all about.  live pictures. you're looking at a fire in oklahoma. firefighters there battling that fire that has engulfed two homes in norman. one home has been declared a complete loss. you see them zooming in. they're trying to keep a third home from catching fire. the houses have wood-shingled roofs. as you can imagine, the fire spreads very quickly on those. several homes in the area have been evacuated. we don't know if anyone was inside that home or any of the other homes. we do know that evacuation orders are under way. we'll bring you more details as we get them. well, you need boats, not cars, to get around in the miami area today. look at that. streets, homes flooded, drivers stranded. water is knee deep in some places. a major storm stalled over south florida bringing heavy downpours for a second day. look at that dog trying to get to land. some street signs are barely above water. many people are stuck in their cars with nowhere to go. >> my house is flooded up to the refrigerator. >> we have old people. my wife is pregnant and -- >> it's amazing. >> we have to fill up sandbags to keep the house from getting flooded out. >> how bad is the house? >> real bad. about another eight inches it will take out the entire inside of the house. >> the american red cross has opened a shelter for flooding victims in miami-dade and broward county. we'll check in with bonnie schneider in a moment. another advertiser is putting tiger woods at a distance you could say. the swissmaker tag heuer says it will downscale its use of the golfer in its advertising campaigns. the company says it will continue its relationship with tiger but will modify the advertising. the swiss company is the latest sponsor to back away from tiger woods since he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. a new explosive report alleges tiger used celebrity muscle to bury evidence of his infidelity two years ago. they say he greed to a cover spread to keep compromising photos of him with another woman under wraps. >> david, who is running american media and owns "the national enquirer" actually decided to accept a deal that our understanding was offered by the tiger woods' camp which is to pose for another american media property "men's fitness." >> to make this all go away? >> exactly. and tiger woods, as we all know, is a private person and didn't do this kind of thing very often. so, you know, to pose for "men's fitness" was a big coup for american media. "men's fitness" competes with "men's health." >> and "golf digest." . >> "golf digest" would say they don't compete directly which is why they allowed this to happen. "golf digest," people who worked there at the time weren't happy about this but they allowed it to happen because it didn't technically break the agreement. >> american media, the owner of "the national enquirer" is denying this. it says the reports are, quote, inaccurate and false. tiger's agent declined to comment to "the wall street journal" about this report or any allegations about marital infidelity by his client. cnn has also made calls to his agent and to american media for comments. so far we have not heard back. we'll keep you dup updated. utah police suspect foul play in susan powell's disappearance and they have become more suspicious of her husband. police said her 4-year-old son confirmed the family went camping. her husband maintains he went camping with the 2 and 4-year-old boys in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night on december 7th and the trip coincided with her disappearance. police said verifying the information is important in terms of setting up some sort of time line though they did caution against giving the boy's story too much weight. investigators also searched the powell family's home for a second time yesterday, but they wouldn't say what, if anything, was taken from it. susan powell's father says he has not given up hope of finding her alive. >> as her father and here in seattle and this happened down in salt lake city or they disappeared from that area, i feel just totally helpless. i believe she is. i have nothing to say she isn't other than the facts, the time she's been missing. and as a father i can't give up the hope that she is alive. >> susan's brother is also talking. he says her sons have started asking questions about her. he says, "this is about the worst time of year to have the very worst thing happen to you." our thoughts are with them. we have new video in that heart wrenching case we have been following on hln. you see him there, the 10-year-old texas boy saying an emotional good-bye to his mom and his little brother. he was forcibly removed from a school bus in october. that is right after he was removed from that bus. jean paula comb was given a few moments to say good-bye to his brother and mother. both father and son are now missing. in an interview with mike galanos, dee as says shediaz sa the airport on a hunch. >> i went with my family to the airport to look for him and i saw jean felipe at the mexicana counter with the passports and i saw my kid sitting down in the rest area, so i grabbed my son and i told him please let's go, and he said, no, because my dad will kill you if i run from him. and i say that's not true, and then, you know, jean felipe came and i started calling the police and the police came and you know they gave him again because they have the court order. >> you may have seen this video. tough to watch. you're looking at 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was forced to leave the school bus and return to the custody of his father. a lot of people are asking whether authorities followed proper procedures knowing the child didn't want to go with his father. >> having seen the video, of course, there's always ways we could suggest as far as not having the plaintiff's investigator or plaintiff's representatives there, but having the father there, there was no way to avoid that because that was the order of the court was to turn the child over to the father. if we had to do something like that, we would put the father in a different location and we would bring the child to that location but the turnover order would still be the same. >> prosecutors in san antonio have obtained kidnapping and aggravated perjury warrants for 41-year-old jean philippe lacombe. there's been a ruling in the casey anthony case. a judge in

north. asheville could get a foot of snow through tomorrow. it could get pretty bad out there. >> it's already getting bad. just moments ago virginia governor timothy cain declared a state of emergency in advance of the storm. he says virginians need to pay attention to their local weather forecasters and, of course, hln and avoid travel and prepare to be on their own for 72 hours. very serious situation there, and we are definitely tracking that as well as all the airport delays that we have across virginia. you can see that as we take a look at your travel alert, we have hour and 30 minute delays in atlanta. chicago, hour and 20 minute delays. newark, 30 minute delays. they're all on the increase due to all the snow and all the activity that we're anticipating. i want to go to flight explorer now and if we can put this behind me, i will show you what it looks like in terms of the air travel. we have been showing you the big picture, 6,000 planes in the sky. look at this, what you're looking at is the virginia/maryland area and rhone no contes roanoke area, tonight when you go to bed you will make up in the morning, there will be a foot of snow on the ground an then

and tracking the weather in atlanta and south carolina just further to the east has just been tremendous in terms of wind and rain. it has not stopped raining all day. this is a really strong storm that as it crosses over into the atlantic, it only seems to be getting more energized, and with when we're talking about the heavy snow here in the mountains, it's not only that. you're talking about very strong winds that will batter the coastline. so this storm, this nor'easter, is probably going to cause a lot of damage in terms of beach erosion and gale-force winds. the winds will be hitting areas like eastern new york saturday and into sunday where we have a blizzard watch because the winds could get as strong as 50 miles per hour with a steady snowfall. that will create huge visibility problems. the big picture once again, advisories now posted all the way up into the boston area for the weekend. this is a monster storm, susan, and we're tracking it here. keep bringing you updates.

jean paul lacombe was upset. he was given a few minutes to say good-bye to his father and mother. the father said he was tricked to believing he had custody of his son. in an interview, diaz said she

faith. anthony's pleading not guilty saying a babysitter kidnapped caylee. we have something else just into hln. look at this. this is surveillance video that could be a tornado. this is in south florida. you can see the wind scattering the debris and a flower vendor being blown about. local media report she did have to go to the hospital but don't know how she's doing. the video was shot from an exxonmobil gas station in north miami beach. heavy rainstorms are flooding the miami area today. this could be a rough weekend all wrong. a major storm is coming up the east coast. snow is coming down in asheville, north carolina, which could get a foot or more to tomorrow. a foot is expected from tennessee to new jersey. we need to talk to meteorologist bonnie schneider to figure out what in the world is going on, bonnie. it's such a big area. >> and such extreme weather. possible tornado touched down in south florida. there were two tornado warnings in the same place in southern miami-dade county. that was actually a little further north but torrential downpours in the whole region was under a tornado watch earlier. that's where we're getting summertime tornadic weather in the south. as you can see across the atlantic northward, it will be a slow, wintry event. a short time ago, governor timothy caine declared a state of emergency. he said virginians need to stay prepared to the forecast and be prepared to be on their own for up to 72 hours. part of the reason for that is this storm is a nor'easter. nor'easters are notorious for not only bringing heavy snow but damaging winds. when you have an intense storm like this, you can see power outages. and that's what the governor is anticipating for virginia. we are also looking at very long delays in atlanta. the rain is coming down so hard. it has not stopped all day. chicago o'hare, not related to the storm but still getting nasty weather. newark, new jersey, arrival delays. i would say that's true for florida airports, delays as well. saturday, this busy holiday shopping weekend, wow, what a mess. heavy snow on the ground in washington, philadelphia and new york. we're looking at delays. we're also monitoring not only south florida, where we had possible tornadic activity and some terrible thunderstorms but check out what's happening in north carolina. if you're driving across the state to do your holiday shopping, to visit loved ones on i-40, that's the interstate that runs east to west, 29 degrees in hickory in the western piedmont, we're getting snow there in winston-salem and you start driving towards the east and it's a wintry mix towards the raleigh-durham area, chapel hill. you're encounter all types of weather. for those of you driving, be prepared for changes. snow changing to freezing rain to ice and back to rain again. it is terrible for those of you traveling. knoxville getting heavy rain in tennessee, as is south carolina. this low pressure center will bring about so much snow. washington, d.c., be possibly 18 inches and then two feet of snow, once you start heading into the mountains. this is a huge snowmaker that is going to mostly come on saturday, richelle. i'm glad it's a weekend day. but we are seeing cancellations. the university of maryland canceled their commencement at college park just in advance of the storm. >> that's pretty big. they don't do something like that for nothing. bonnie, thank you. good well rounded picture there. women seeking an abortion never expect to see their personal information online. it could happen. in oklahoma, it's already been passed into law but there's one last hurdle for it to clear. what's happening today and your views on it. an oklahoma judge is considering whether a controversial abortion law should take effect. if it does, information from women seeking an abortion will be posted online, not their names and addresses, but the information. the law requires doctors to ask the patient questions on a ten-page form that includes a woman's age, race and marital status. she would also have to answer from a checklist why she wanted the procedure. things like it changes the life of the mother or would interfere with her education or career. critics call the law abusive and invasion of privacy but others say it would help unwanted pregnancy. and the state said it would cost about a quarter million dollars a year. all day we have been taking your views on this. let's read the e-mail. this is teeny, who says -- and also a lot of comments on my facebook page. if you're ever on facebook search, richelle carey and post your comments. we will scroll the comments now while we jump to the phones. debra is calling us. >> caller: hello. >> can you hear me? debra? >> caller: i hear you. >> you're calling us from utah. you have the floor, debra. i understand that you see an agenda in this. >> caller: pardon me? >> debra, can you hear me? >> caller: yes, i can hear you now. >> great. i was saying i understand from the notes that i got on this, you see an agenda in this questionnaire? >> definitely. i think it's an agenda to prohibit and intimidate women into not seeking abortions when they are lawfully entitled to them. it also is clearly designed to make it more difficult for doctors who perform abortions to provide abortions to women who want them. i think in every case where a woman that wants an abortion, it's clearly because she doesn't want to have the child. and i think this is a clear attempt on the anti-choice people to minimize the right to seek an abortion. and makes it difficult for doctors. >> the lawmaker who proposed this is not hiding the fact by any means he's pro-life. debra, thank you for the phone call. glad we finally got the connection worked out. what do you think about this? do you think it's necessary to ask personal questions in order to get an abortion? or is this a total invasion of people's privacy? you can e-mail us at cnn.com/hln or send us a text, hlntv. celebrity scandals, you know, tiger woods, balloon boy, white house party crashers. we're obsessed with people in the spotlight. so we're going to talk about it. our own robin meade along with turner sports star charles barkley, kyle eckly are sounding off on a lot of issues this sunday. here's a preview of "with all due respect." >> i do believe that we have a president now who is as much a celebrity as he is a president. and he's become that and he's transcended that and we expect so much -- we expect something from him. and there is a group in this country that expects him to fail, wants him to fail, and wishes him to fail because he is a black man. that's how simple that is. we have to live with that. we do. >> be sure to catch robin's entire special "with all due respect" premiering sunday 10:00 p.m. eastern. we're getting word that a meaningful deal has been reached at the climate summit in denmark. president obama is there trying to hammer out a deal with china and other world leaders in the final hours of this meeting. an administration official is telling our sister network cnn there is a, quote, meaningful agreement that president obama is about to announce. the first official told cnn that was president was going over an approved text with chinese officials that would set a nonbinding goal of reducing the earth's temperature by 2 degrees krelso o celsius over the next decade, that is 35 point -- pardon me. i was trying to do a little bit of conversion there for you. but the official calls the agreement an important first step. tensions over the health care debate turned into a verbal feud. democratic senator al franken refused to let independent senator joe lieberman finish his speech on the senate floor yesterday. look at this. >> the senator has spoken for ten minutes. >> i wonder if i can ask unanimous consent for just an additional moment. >> in my capacity as senator from minnesota, i object. >> really? oh, okay. don't take it personally. >> i just saw -- i have been around here 20-some years, first time i have ever seen a member denied an extra minute or two, to finish his remarks, and i must say that i don't know what's happening here in this body, but i think it's wrong. >> wow. apparently, senators franken and lieberman resolved that spat later that evening because they were seen laughing, talking, even

"the wall street journal" reports woods agreed to a rare photo and cover sped in "men's fitness" magazine to keep compromising photos of him and another woman under wraps. that reporter, lead writer, told me what happened next. >> deck tucker, who runs american media and owns the "national enquirer," actually decided to accept a deal from our understanding that was offered by the tiger woods' camp, which was to pose for another american media property, "men's fitness." >> to make this all go away? >> exactly. he -- tiger woods, as we all know, is a very private person and didn't do this sort of thing very often. so to -- to pose for "men's fitness" was a big coup for american media. "men's fitness" competes with "men's health." >> and also "golf digest." >> well, actually, no, it doesn't compete directly, which is why "golf digest," which had an exclusive arrangement with tiger woods allowed this to happen. "golf digest" people who worked there at the time weren't happy about this but they allowed it to happen because it didn't technically break the agreement that tiger woods had with that magazine. >> american media denies it all saying the reports are inaccurate and false. woods' agent declined to comment to "the wall street journal" about this report or any allegations about marital infidelity. cnn has made calls to his agent and to american media for comments, and so far we haven't heard back. and another advertiser is putting tiger woods at a distance. the swiss watchmaker tag hoyer said it will downscale the use of the golfer in its advertising campaign. the company said it will continue its relationship with woods but will modify his advertising. the swiss company is the latest sponsor to back away from woods said he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. new insight into cincinnati bengals wide receiver chris henry's final minutes. a witness said he was begging his fiance, tonga, to stop the truck she was driving. the neighbor who said he saw it all said henry threatened he would kill himself if they didn't talk. he said he saw a yellow truck rushing up to the driveway of tonga's home with a shirtless man banging on the top screaming to the woman, we need to talk. the description seems to match the 911 call from a woman who was driving behind the truck. >> i need a police officer on oak road. i'm riding behind a yellow truck. it's an f-150. the tag says, it has a black man on it and no shirt on it. he has his arm in a cast. he has black pants on. he's beating on the back of this truck window and the truck is driving. i don't know if he's trying to break in it or something just looks crazy. it's a girl driving it. >> you said the vehicle is occupied by a black female? >> that's what it looked like driving it and a black male hanging on the back of it. >> henry died yesterday at a hospital in charlotte, north carolina. investigators say the types of injuries he sustained and the cause of that can be determined once the body is delivered to the medical examiner. we have new video in a heart-wrenching case we have been following for you this week on hln. you're seeing a 10-year-old boy in texas trying to say good-bye to his mother after he was forcibly removed from a school bus back in october. jean paul lacombe was upset and crying and given a few minutes to say good-bye to his mother and brother. he was said he was tricked by a judge. the mother said she went to the airport on a hunch the next day looking for her son. >> then i went with my -- with my family, my cousins and my aunt to the airport to look for him, and then i saw phillipe at the mexican counter with the passports and i saw my kid sitting down in the rest area. so i got my son and i told him, "please, let's go." and he say, "no, because my dad will kill you if i run from him." and i say, "that's not true." and when phillipe came and i start calling the police and then the police came and, you know, they gave him because they have the court order. >> and that is the video of 10-year-old jean paul screaming and yelling as he was forced to leave the school bus to be returned to the custody of his father. a lot of people are asking whether authorities followed proper procedures knowing the child didn't want to go with his dad. >> he could have waited until the child was outside the bus, but there's no telling what might have happened outside. for example, during the time they were there, there was another male there shouting to the boy in spanish for him to resist. well, we're responsible for the child once we get out there and trying to execute it. if the child tried to run away, run into traffic, hit by a car or injured by the bus, we would have been responsible. having the child contained inside the bus or where there's less chance of answer incident, that probably was a better choice than doing it outside that day. >>
