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.
