If you're talking about the population in general I doubt it can be proven either way.

But there aren't more than that in the Congress. A quick google brought this up from "womens enews":

"With the results of three House contests still outstanding, 141 solidly pro-choice incumbents remain in office--about the same amount as in the 107th Congress, according to the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. Incumbents with mixed records on abortion fell from 74 members to 69 last Tuesday while the solidly anti-choice group grew from 217 members to 222."

Either way, you can't say that there used to be lots of pro-choice republicans in Congress and somehow the issue is hurting them (since they've gone from 2-1 down to a slight majority) There are obviously a LOT more pro-lifers in the Republican conference today than in 1977 since there are dozens more of them than the total number of republicans at the time.
