Has the federal government acted to stop abortions across the land? Do abortions still take place in Texas? Do abortions still take place in Florida?

With other glaring examples of problems on this front, any attempt to trash a proposed state leader on this issue is simply dishonest.

No, the California legislature acted to preserve abortion on demand under all circumstances. Arnold would happily sign such legislation, wouldn't he?

More from the article:
The bill would also allow registered nurses and other mid-level practitioners to dispense Mifepristone under a doctor's supervision. The drug is intended to be used only during early pregnancy and essentially causes a miscarriage by blocking the action of progesterone, a hormone needed to sustain pregnancy. Two days after taking Mifepristone, the woman takes another medication called Misoprostal, which makes the uterus contract and helps expel the embryo. The procedure usually requires several visits to a physician.

So much for the falsehood that "Schwarzenegger cannot affect abortion policy."
