Four or five members, according to Steve Ertelt; it is of course chiefly a vague sort of ad hoc coalition that will be prepared to vote against any egregiously pro-abortion bills rather than an organised, coherent one that will act toward any more positive legislation.  Still.  Of course, with the newly elected People's House, there aren't going to be any pro-abortion bills adopted and sent to the States' House, anyway; whether there is much of a chance that the new 'pro-life' majority acts creatively, we shall see.
