In the House of Representatives, some major gains:

52 Pro-life Improvements Including 38 pro-life Members-elect replacing Members who voted consistently or mostly pro-abortion and 14 pro-life Members-elect replacing Members with a mixed pro-life voting record.

6 Mixed or Unknown Too little information is available to make a judgment about these Members-elect, but they are all replacing pro-abortion Members.

10 Races Not Yet Called

Jill Stanek has a new column in the WaPo on this topic:

Tuesday’s election garnered at least 53 new pro-life votes in the House. Conversely, only 151 winning House candidates were endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action, meaning just 34.7 percent of the 435 representatives in the 212th Congress will be reliable pro-abortion votes. Ideologically, the incoming pro-lifers, all Republican, will mesh well with their solidly pro-life leadership.

Looks like the pro-lifers are just getting started!
