VOTING DAY
Controversial topics top ballots

Gay rights, teen abortion, Arnold Schwarzenegger's prestige. These and other volatile topics are adding spice to off-year elections in three states where voters will be considering statewide ballot measures on Nov. 8.
As is often the case, California has the most intriguing mix of propositions _ including four backed by Schwarzenegger, the Republican governor, to curb the power of the Democratic-controlled Legislature and the state's public employee unions. Another measure, notable in a state with liberal leanings, would require parents to be notified when a minor seeks an abortion.
to make budget cuts; make teachers work five years instead of two to pass probation; strip lawmakers of their power to carry out redistricting, and require public employee unions to get members' permission before dues could be used for political purposes.
Schwarzenegger is backing proposals all trailing in the polls that would cap state spending and give the governor greater authority
Texas voters are expected to approve a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriages — a step already taken in 18 other states. In
More than 30 states have parental notification or consent laws.
Schwarzenegger also supports the abortion measure, which would require doctors to give parents or guardians written notice 48 hours before performing an abortion on a minor. Adults would not have to consent, but sponsors hope the requirement would reduce California's teen abortion rate — the nation's fourth-highest — by involving parents in the decision.
Maine, a conservative alliance is urging voters to quash a new law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Gay-rights activists opposing the ban have produced television ads featuring direct appeals by same-sex couples for marriage rights.
In Texas, the proposed gay-marriage ban is the only high-profile statewide item on the ballot, and both sides are concerned about possible low voter turnout.
"We think the vast majority of people in Texas are with us but that doesn't help if they don't show up," said Kelly Shackelford of the Liberty Legal Institute, which supports the ban.
"We are not second-class citizens, and we need the same resources and rights available to heterosexual couples to protect our families," said the Rev. Carolyn Mobley, an associate
pastor at the Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church, appearing with her partner in one of the ads.
Massachusetts is the only state allowing such marriages; Vermont and Connecticut have approved same-sex civil unions. Texas law already prohibits same-sex marriages, but supporters of the amendment say a constitutional ban would guard that law from judicial challenges.
The measure dealing with gay rights in Maine resulted from a petition campaign by conservatives upset that lawmakers expanded the state's human rights act to address anti-gay bias.
The act already prohibited discrimination based on race, gender and other factors; it was broadened this year to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing, credit, public accommodations and education.
