This Resolution urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to actively support the passage of the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021, a federal bill designed to safeguard the right to access and provide abortion services. The resolution highlights concerns about increasing legal challenges to reproductive rights in the United States, referencing specific Supreme Court cases like *Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson* and *Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization*, which involve laws in Texas and Mississippi that restrict abortion access. The resolution explains that these cases threaten the long-standing constitutional right to abortion established in *Roe v. Wade* and emphasizes that many Americans have always had access to these services, which are now at risk. The Women's Health Protection Act of 2021 (H.R. 3755) is presented as a crucial piece of legislation that would protect an individual's ability to decide whether to continue or end a pregnancy and ensure healthcare providers can offer abortion services.
