Post-Election "Lame Duck" Session Looms--Obama-Backed Pro-Abortion Bills Blocked; Congress Goes Home to Face Voters

WASHINGTON (September 29, 2010)-With Congress entering a month-long recess to allow full-time campaigning during the final weeks before the November 2 general election, NRLC legislative staff has analyzed the damage done by nearly two years of collaboration between pro-abortion President Barack Obama and the large majorities of mostly like-minded Democrats who currently control both houses of Congress. Following the election, the same lawmakers-including those who have been defeated-will again convene in a "lame duck session" that will begin in November and run into December. The new 112th Congress-which will include all of the candidates who are victorious in the general election-will convene in January.
