You are right-- i didn't get my thought across clearly...I was thinking of the people behind the information and the institutions that do so many studies. There are so many biases out there and statistics and studies can be presented in such a way to reflect the person's beleif rather than the facts. Especially in dealing with the issue of abortion stats, almost anywhere you look the person providing the statistics will have a bias one way or the other. And depending on how the study is done, you can get misleading results. Thanks for clarifying-- that's what i get when i hurry!
