U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Infant Safe Haven Laws". child welfare information getaway. December 7, 2008 http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/safehaven.cfm.

A) the authority of the author is good because it's an orginization that sets up web pages to notify the public about the laws and they work specialy with the safe haven laws so they're experts on the subject. B)the entended audience is the public in general. they just want people to be aware of the laws that are being passed in the US. C) this cite states the law and is less opionated than the other cite i cited. It goes just on the surface of the law and doesn't get into opions at all.

Washington Post. "Does Safe Haven Law Help or Hurt?". Washington post. december 7, 2008 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/parenting/2008/10/safe_haven_laws.html.

A)This was written by the Washington post which is a newspaper and it's a more opionated article because the paper is most of the time atleast a little bit bias. B)the entended audience is more the working public because they're generaly the ones who read the paper but in general just the public like the other article. This aritcle is concentrating more on the adults though, thinking they're more likely to read the newspaper. C) This article is more bias and opionated than the article i cited above. the article above focuses more on the law then what people think of it and their opions on the law.
