According to a poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation (ORC) on behalf of the Results for America (RFA) project of the nonprofit and nonpartisan Civil Society Institute, by a decisive margin of 74-21 percent, Americans support former First Lady Nancy Reagan's call for the Bush White House to lift restrictions on stem cell research...
Unfortunately as with ANY poll administered by liberals, they don't tell you the whole story. When quoting the poll, there is no mention of the qualifying wording nor the methodologies utilized to obtain the stem cells nor the sources of those cells. Take for example a recent poll on abortion,.. while 62 percent of the respondents sided that abortion should remain legal, when the verbage of the question was released it told the real story.
"In the event that a member of your family or close personal aquaintence was a victim of a sexual assault or rape, do you favor the ability of that person to obtain a legal and safe abortion should a pregnancy result from the act."
When asked if abortion should be legal in other circumstances an overwhelming 79 percent said NO.
This poll on stem cell research uses the same misleading method. Claiming 74 percent supported it in this poll, they neglect to provide you when asked if the method of obtaining those stems cells "originated in the abortion of a fetus" the numbers were drastically different. Only 39 percent of those surveyed answered to the affirmative.... AN OVERWEALMING 61 percent said NO.
This is yet another example of the false information that is being fed to the American people in order to sway societal change. Unfortunately it is an outright lie. Remember the saying there are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics. Don't take ANY poll at face value as they are all skewed to the favor of those who pay for the poll to be conducted.
What this poll does show is that the country is supportive of the research as long as it involves lines not drawn from killing babies. THAT is what is encouraging about this poll.
The feelings of the heartland of America hasn't changed. Abortion is still wrong, and Stem cell research that uses fetal stem cells is still wrong. Otherwise get to work scientists.. find that cure.
