Database Puts Marriage Information from all 50 States at Your Fingertips
You're on deadline and you need to find out-quickly, of course, how many states have constitutional amendments defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. You also need to know how many states are considering whether to add such an amendment. Where do you turn?  To The Heritage Foundation's online database "Marriage in the 50 States." Type heritage.org/Research/Family/Marriage50States.cfm into your Web browser, and you'll find the answers you need to these and a host of other questions. The database features a clickable map that enables you to find out what a particular state has done, or is trying to do, to protect the traditional definition of marriage.

INSTITUTE FOR MARRIAGE AND PUBLIC POLICY.

In 2008, iMAPP's study "The Taxpayer Costs of Divorce" provided groundbreaking data about how much high rates of family fragmentation cost -- not for only children, families and neighborhoods, but also for taxpayers. Finally, iMAPP's policy briefs summarize useful information relevant to important public policy debates in an easy-to-read format. [http://www.marriagedebate.com/ ; 15Dec08, abstinence.net]
