Bill > HRes402

This resolution honors mothers and motherhood, beginning with historical context by noting President Woodrow Wilson's 1914 proclamation establishing the first national Mother's Day holiday. The resolution highlights the universal significance of mothers, emphasizing their critical role in raising the next generation and celebrating their unique ability to bring life into the world. It specifically recognizes various types of mothers, including stepmothers, adopted mothers, and single mothers, while also taking a stance against what it describes as attempts to redefine motherhood through alternative terminology like "birthing person" or "gestational parent." The resolution affirms that mothers are women and calls for supporting policies that recognize mothers as such. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to acknowledge the importance of motherhood, recognize the sacrifices women make in raising families, and encourage all Americans to observe Mother's Day by honoring the women who bring life into the world and nurture future generations.
