An LATimes story (registration) about a book that’s sold in the Grand Canyon bookstore How old is the Grand Canyon?

George Neumayr on Howard Dean, who served on the board of Planned Parenthood, did an OB-GYN rotation for a PP clinic, but denies having performed abortions. Surely Dean will at least take credit for abortion referrals. Recall his NARAL dinner speech last year where, in a attempt to score a debating point against parental notification…
