I know I have a bias. Women are literally dying in my community on a regular.... We have an opportunity to save lives. My head is focused on that red dress alert that I know we can get in place and that will not be a study but will actually save lives.
I need some time to think about this, because now we're looking at another study. We've had eight studies go through in this committee. We're rock stars on this committee. We are the best committee, but we have an opportunity to produce a tangible outcome. It's a really hard decision for me to make today. I'm wondering if we can adjourn debate so that I can thoughtfully think through my own bias about my study, because I feel that I can't be thoughtful right now. All of it is serious. Any violence is serious, and I don't want to minimize anything.
I'll leave it on the table. Thanks.
