One conservative who wasn't afraid to ask Arnold [in 2002] to account for his liberal views was the fiery right-wing rising star on the Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity.

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
