Schwarzenegger,
the Republican governor of California, was elected on a generally
conservative platform but has become quite liberal on social policy
issues. Although he felt it necessary to issue state-backed "IOU's"
rather than tax refunds in 2009, he refused to cut abortion spending
out of the state budget, choosing rather to cut funding for public
safety positions. In 2006, Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill
that punished organizations not providing full marital benefits to
homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals. With many landmark legal
challenges to traditional marriage rising in California, he has
become an outspoken advocate of imposing same-sex "marriage" on
citizens who have consistently voted against it.
