"Schwarzegger would KILL anyone who took daughter for abortion"


To: National Desk

Contact: Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, 316-841-1700; Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue spokesperson, 316-516-3034

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 22 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Pro-abortion Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has told a California newspaper that he would "kill" anyone who took one of his minor daughters for an abortion without telling him.

"I have a daughter. I wouldn't want to have someone take my daughter to a hospital for an abortion or something and not tell me. I would kill him if they do that," Schwarzenegger told a reporter for the Sacramento Bee.

The movie star, now California Governor, later clarified his remarks indicating that he would not literally "kill" someone who took his daughter for an abortion, but would be very upset as a parent.
Schwarzenegger continued, "It will be the ultimate of being outraged about it and angry about it," he said.

"They call me when my daughter falls off the jungle gym in the school and they say, 'What do you want us to use? Can we put a Band-Aid on it? Do you want to come in? She's crying a little bit.'

"They call us about everything. I don't want them in that particular incident not to call us."

Schwarzenegger's comments were in response to questions concerning a ballot initiative in California that would require the parents or guardians of minor girls to be notified of their intentions to have abortions 48 hours prior to the act.

In spite of his remarks, Schwarzenegger is still undecided as to whether he will endorse the measure.

"I think Gov. Schwarzenegger's initial response to the parental notification legislation was from his heart. What parent wouldn't be outraged that their little girl could be taken for an abortion without their knowledge? It is the ultimate betrayal of their parental rights," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

"However, when politics become involved, often common sense goes out the window," Newman continued. "We pray that this interview will cause Gov. Schwarzenegger to realize how incompatible with life and family his beliefs about abortion really are. We call on Gov. Schwarzenegger to take the courageous stand that his heart is telling him to take, and endorse the parental notification ballot initiative."

18. LOL, yeah really
What if she's eighteen years old and gets pregnant and she decides for herself? I wonder what he would say to that. He can't ground her or anything like that.

4. Yes, the hypocrisy of these men who have
had sex with women that they did not give a damn about and didn't care if they had an abortion or not.

5. Kill/Upset
what's the diff, eh?

Who's killing who, ahnold?

What a POS. What a freaking disgrace to humanity.

I vowed to move to California if it did not fall off the Continental shelf in 2004. Then they elected Arnold.
That was good enough for me. I stayed in Texas.

He's robotic. And not very good at it.

The time for parental notification involves years of "notification".
It does not begin with abortion.

Trust your kids. They will trust you.

Can someone give parental lessons to these rabids? PLEASE?

I have a pretty good relationship with my parents. We're not close or anything like that but we're to where we can chat and I know I could go to my mother if I ever needed anything. I think that would be better than these silly legislation ideas going around. I want to parent my children when I have them. Not the government! The government's job isn't to be my father.

22. That's why parental notification laws
have judicial bypasses written into them.

For years I've been predicting on these boards that parental notification laws will be the next great wedge issue after partial birth abortion fighting dies down.

I think we're near that time, and I wouldn't be surprised if 24 states have parental notification referrendums on their ballots in 2008.

The argument that "dad we aren't going to tell you that your daughter is being operated on tomorrow because how do we know you're not a rapist," is going to go over with most American fathers like a lead balloon.

I think it's a really good wedge issue, and it will be used.

8. Arnold seems to have the same foot in mouth syndrome that....
afflicts other members of the Republican party. You would think someone in his position would choose his words more carefully before speaking. The word he used for this issue was sure ironic.

10. Yesterday he said...
...Warren Beatty's remarks regarding Arnold being a fake, stage prop kind of governor were made out of "jealousy." Yeah, Beatty wishes he could act and be a big movie star like Conan the Barbarian.

...The movie star, now California Governor, later clarified his remarks indicating that he would not literally "kill" someone who took his daughter for an abortion...

That's right he would terminate them. Thanks for the clarification, Dickweed!

11. What about the guy who raped his daughter
would he "kill" that guy, too?

Last I saw, (especially if the rapist is a minor, too), rape is not yet a death-penalty offense. If it were, Repukes would be saying that's yet another reason to string up any living Kennedy . . .

was pro-choce, saying "But he married a Kennedy! That means he can't be a conservative!"

Oh, can't he? He knows coming out on EITHER side of this issue will hurt him politically, either with the liberals who don't believe he's a closet conservative, or with the conservatives who don't believe he's a closet liberal.

But when the chips fall, he'll do what his backers want. So who are "they," really?

VOTE NO ON 73.

got a republican, a "Terminator" What the fuck does that mean, oh well, people will vote for him...the Musclehead, (would anyone dispute) is a fucking Bush republican, (Now do you finally recognize? Not a moment too soon!)...Of course they all are? Making the bucks, BIG fucking bucks...If you support & vote for this lying, greedy, selfish, republican ideology? They will give you the keys!!!

Very sad, as so many sheep expected some Hollywood dude, who sits behind and then in front of the camera, until they yell action is anything more than his dad's philosophy of fascism; Really! He’s the what? “Terminator” What the fuck does that mean??? However, it‘s what works for these corporate rich cocksuckers, media fucks,who sell it... Convince the masses. The illusion is real…the person is that image. Well, you know…Reagan was able to convince the fat happy liberals who voted for him (can you believe that, not me, but fucking moderates, who know and care nothing of ideology)… The illusion is what you perceive it to be…not a reality…Heavens, (just accept it)…Motherfucker should of dropped a hit! Just one fucking hit…
