National Right to Life status report on the 108th Congress to date
This is an update from the Federal Legislation Department of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), issued September 30, 2004. Please forward this e-mail to any appropriate lists.
The 108th Congress (2003-04) is nearing its end. On October 8 or soon thereafter, Congress will recess so that lawmakers can go home to campaign. A "lame duck" session is planned for mid-November in order to deal with a few issues, including a number of appropriations bills.
There has been a great deal of important activity on pro-life and anti-life legislation during the 108th Congress. Several major NRLC-backed initiatives were enacted into law, while all new legislative proposals by anti-life forces have failed. We have posted on the NRLC website a report summarizing what has happened with pro-life and anti-life legislation during the 108th Congress so far. To read the report, click here.
Complete congressional voting records for the 108th Congress (and back through 1997) also are posted at the Legislative Action Center on the NRLC website, under "NRLC Congressional Scorecards," here.
Lists of cosponsors of major pro-life and anti-life bills, arranged by state and updated daily, are posted under "Issues and Legislation." You can review how any specific member of Congress has voted, and what key measures he or she has cosponsored, by clicking on the tab "Elected Officials."
