That life comment is very dishonest. Schwarzenegger cannot affect abortion policy. Abortion policy will only be effected by new cases brought before the Supreme Court. If it were otherwise no abortions would be taking place in Texas or Florida

That is not true and frankly I don't appreciate the ad hominem.

Let me list just a few of the examples of bills affecting human life, since we do have Amendment X in the US Constitution:

Parental Notification
Parental Consent
Regulation of Abortion Clinics
"Women's Right to Know" legislation, on abortion
Partial birth abortion ban
Ban of other late term abortions
Legislation that interferes with the freedom of pro-life activists
Fetal tissue legislation
Euthanasia legislation
Tax funding of abortion
Adoption policies
Deadbeat dad policies
Father's rights policies

A part of our problem is that *our own conservatives* tend to see much too much as federal and judicial issues, instead of getting after legislatures and governors to do what they were elected to do.

Let's say you're right.  In at least some of these instances you are.  What good is it if McClintock's numbers never escalate to the place he can get elected.

Whether I agree in all things with Schwarzenegger or not, I disagree in every instance with Davis and Bustamante.  I'll vote for Schwarzenegger rather and see Davis or Bustamante hold the office.

While I agree that it would be better if the things you mentioned were addressed, if McClintock can't get elected they won't be no matter what.

So with all your ranting about issues surrounding life, and the implication with your holier-than-thou attitude that you are superior to Schwarzenegger supporters, are you one of those that hope Bustanmante wins if McClintock can't, so Californians can suffer under the yoke of Bustamante in order to see your point and finally vote your way in 2006?

As well as the expansion of parties legally permitted to provide abortion services.
