State legislatures play a key role in determining whether women can access reproductive-health care - including safe, legal abortion. 

• Pro-choice legislators work to pass laws that promote pro-choice goals, such as giving young people medically accurate sex education and making sure women have better access to birth control.  Twelve states and the District of Columbia have pro-choice legislatures.
  
  
• Anti-choice lawmakers, however, are mounting aggressive campaigns to undermine women's reproductive freedom and interfere with our personal decisions. Between 1995 and 2008, states enacted 581 anti-choice legislative measures, and 19 states have anti-choice legislatures.
