The House of Representatives is now under pro-choice leadership – however, Congress is still dominated by an anti-choice majority.

• Congress has voted 54 times on choice-related issues since President Bush took office in 2001.  Pro-choice Americans have lost all but 10 of those votes. 
• Since 2003, Congress has acted on five separate anti-choice free-standing bills.  Three – the Federal Abortion Ban, the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," and the Federal Refusal Clause - were signed into law by President Bush.
• From 1995 to 2006, when anti-choice lawmakers had control of Congress, they worked relentlessly to make abortion more difficult and dangerous. Making matters worse, they did nothing to make abortion less necessary.

What a Difference 100 Days Makes
In November 2006 Americans put the House and Senate back into pro-choice hands for the first time in 12 years. Anti-choice politicians used these years to attack reproductive freedom at every opportunity. By stark contrast, in just its first 100 days, the 110th Congress has blocked legislative assaults on reproductive freedom and made early first steps toward a more positive agenda that emphasizes commonsense solutions over divisive politics.
