• A federal judge has struck down the age limit on the morning-after pill, deeming it “arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable.” Previously women ages 16 and younger needed a prescription to get the pill, which sort of defeats the whole “morning-after” aspect. (The Frisky)
• Legendary comic book artist Carmine Infantino, the co-creator of Batgirl, the Flash, Black Canary, and more, has passed away. Said Dan DiDio in response: “There are few people in this world that have had as much of an impact on the industry as Carmine. He bridged both the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, shepherding in some of the most successful periods in our history and setting the course of our characters that is still seen today. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will remain forever.” Infantino was 87. (IGN)

• Sabrina the Teenage Witch co-creator George Gladir passed away on Wednesday evening. He was 87. (Bleeding Cool)
