Dissonance: I hear a discord and with due diligence will distance myself in these decision developments.

Did I ever mention the weird thing about looking for data?
When you do you discover what no one knows.
or
No one you think, at first, would know.
This is the lesson: When looking for information regarding social trends, first use Google to pull up articles (when looking for statistics regarding budgetary issues call the relevant agency). That will give you your base information in the quickest way possible and the key points you need to substantiate an argument (this is the opposite of how to write a good research paper).
But then
It is good if you can find an organization that is "really doin' it." I found one today while researching domestic violence among pregnant women. It was very cool, because after scouring organizations in the state and finally getting directed to a national organization in The City www.advocatesforpregantwomen.org I was provided with significant information, that I could then give to our in state network: Like the Idaho Women's Network www.idahowomensnetwork.org and The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
Even if the bill I was working to oppose sailed through with the first part of the information (the Google part) we had a nicely constructed argument, that although it was delivered in a hurry and unforutnately had to be hastily put together could, nevertheless, be a new way of explaining the problems with proposals that claim to save pregnant women from domestic abuse by making safe and legal abortion more difficult.
