Arnold Schwarzenegger on Abortion

Republican CA Governor


Supports current family planning programs

I support a woman's right to choose. I support the state's current family planning programs, and as governor, would make no changes to this policy.

Opposes partial birth abortion

I do not support partial birth abortion. I am in favor of parental notification, but I believe there must be a mechanism available where an individual can seek counsel from an outside entity, perhaps the courts.

Supports parental notification, with limits

The GOP candidate said in a radio interview that he is pro-choice but does not support what critics call "partial-birth" abortions, and said he agrees with parental notification for underage girls seeking abortions, unless there is abuse or other problems in the girl's family.

Pro-choice; not a cultural conservative

Whatever kind of Republican Schwarzenegger may be, it's probably not the kind to give much comfort to cultural conservatives. The actor has said he's pro-choice, though how he feels about things like parental notification and partial-birth abortion is unknown.
