Bill > SCRes9

This concurrent resolution recognizes March 10, 2025, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day" to honor the essential healthcare workers who provide abortion services across the United States. The resolution highlights the challenges abortion providers face following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, including increased state-level restrictions, with 19 states banning some or all abortions as of March 2025. It acknowledges the day was selected to commemorate Dr. David Gunn, an abortion provider murdered in 1993, and emphasizes the critical role abortion providers play in ensuring reproductive healthcare access. The resolution condemns Supreme Court and administrative actions that limit abortion care, recognizes the threats and harassment providers face, and affirms Congress's commitment to protecting abortion providers' safety and patients' right to access reproductive healthcare. It also calls for a future without abortion restrictions, where individuals can make autonomous decisions about their bodies without fear of penalty or stigma, and celebrates the courage, compassion, and dedication of abortion providers and their staff who continue to provide essential healthcare services under increasingly challenging circumstances.
