New Jersey Voters Stand for Life, and against Stem Cell and Clone Measure, Voting it Down

"...the research [which would have been] performed under this Bond proposal [would have] included killing human embryos and human cloning through the same method that was used to clone Dolly the Sheep."

(Trenton, NJ)?[On Tuesday], New Jersey voters soundly rejected Public Question # 2, the $450 million Stem Cell Bond Act. This was a major defeat for Governor Corzine who personally campaigned for this Question and contributed $200,000 to a shadow group which ran radio ads and made phone calls featuring Michael J. Fox.

New Jersey Right to Life challenged the ballot referendum in court for its deceptive nature and ran radio ads featuring Police Detective Steven McDonald who was shot in the line of duty. Detective McDonald urged a No vote on Public Question # 2. The TV ad can be viewed on the NJ Right to Life website at http://www.njrtl.org/.

"Today's vote is a victory for NJ citizens," said Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right to Life.
