Please tell me how ANY California governor can have any big-picture impact whatsoever on the issue of abortion in the state

What he can do, as a pro-abort gov of the biggest state, is give the pro-aborts in the Republican party nationwide more leverage to turn the party their way. Remember how Pete Wilson went to the 96 convention demanding that the pro-life plank be dropped. Arnold will have a lot more influence than the uncharismatic Wilson
