Bill Summary
Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22d day of January each year.
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes the unborn by establishing January 22nd as a "Day of Tears" in the United States, marking the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that originally established abortion as a constitutional right and which was subsequently overturned on June 24, 2022. The resolution calls for the United States flag to be lowered to half-staff on January 22nd each year as a symbolic gesture to mourn and honor the approximately 62 million unborn children who have died from abortions since 1973. Additionally, the resolution encourages U.S. citizens to participate in this flag-lowering remembrance and urges legislators to create laws that protect the sanctity of life and ensure comprehensive abortion reporting.
