PRESS RELEASE April 26, 2006Quinnipiac Poll on stem cell research misleading, Poll omitted important facts
Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right to Life issued the following statement today regarding the release of todays Quinnipiac Poll.
Todays Quinnipiac Poll results should not be taken as an accurate barometer of public support for the type of stem cell research Governor Corzine and legislative leaders are pushing, said Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right to Life. When you ask someone if they support stem cell research, they automatically assume the question refers to adult stem cell research because that is where the cures are occurring. Many people are hearing the wonderful healing success stories in the news about umbilical cord blood stem cells and stem cells taken from bone marrow. This is the type of stem cell research they are expressing support for, not stem cells which are derived from the cloning and killing of human embryos and human fetuses which NJ law expressly authorizes, said Tasy.
Quinnipiac also asked a question that is inaccurate as it pertains to current pending legislation. They asked, Do you support or oppose legislation to spend up to $250 million on stem cell research in New Jersey? The bill before the legislature, S1471/A1828 proposes to use $250M in bonds to fund the capital construction of three buildings.
Tasy also said it was noteworthy that the question regarding needle exchange was much more detailed and informative than the question on stem cell research because it provided opposing views on the matter. The questions on stem cell research did not distinguish between adult and embryonic stem cell research and unlike the question on needle exchange, did not provide objections to embryonic stem cell research and cloning. The results of the stem cell question would have been far different if the same standard was applied to the stem cell question as was applied to the question on needle exchange, said Tasy.
The questions on stem cell research did not distinguish between adult and embryonic stem cell research and unlike the question ..." And we're surprised that media goons lie by conscious omission? Pretending to be reporters so they can lead the American public into the left's agenda shows this ol' boy that these bastards know of what they lie regardless of whom it serves and the casual destruction of human souls. I once had a discussion with someone defending partial birth aborticide and the woman cussed me when I asked if tricking a woman into killing her child would be ignored by God when the woman stands before the righteous judge. The cussing came after I answered the query of 'whom is at fault at the judging'? Lying to the public to promote an agenda always tells from whom the agenda originates.
