SACRAMENTO, Calif. - With support from religious groups and megachurches, backers of the abortion initiative on Tuesday's ballot plan a substantial push this weekend to motivate millions of Christian voters to the polls.
Republicans promoting the four initiatives pushed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are hoping a surge of religious conservatives could translate into support for the governor's "year of reform" agenda and provide the margin of victory for at least some of his measures.
"We've had tremendous encouragement in recent weeks - 30 churches a day are signing up to have bulletin inserts to get out the vote and remind their congregations to vote," said Gary Marx, a consultant who specializes in organizing Christian conservatives. He was hired by the California Republican Party to help pass the abortion initiative, Proposition 73.
