Bill > HCRes3

This resolution affirms support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a 2020 international agreement signed by 39 countries that emphasizes women's health, family protection, and pro-life principles. The resolution specifically commends the declaration's core tenets, which include recognizing that all individuals are equal under the law, affirming human rights for women, asserting that every human has an inherent right to life, and explicitly stating that there is no international right to abortion. Congress declares its commitment to defending the sovereignty of countries to establish their own policies on women's health and family planning, while also pledging to prevent U.S. funding of abortions or coercive family planning in foreign countries. The resolution notes that while the United States was originally a lead cosponsor under the Trump administration and was subsequently removed as a signatory under the Biden administration, longstanding federal laws prohibiting abortion funding remain in effect. By passing this resolution, Congress aims to reaffirm support for the declaration's principles, welcome opportunities to strengthen the coalition, and urge signatory countries to defend the universal principles of valuing life and family expressed in the original document.
