Bill Summary
A joint resolution designating the month of June as "Life Month".
AI Summary
This joint resolution seeks to establish an annual "Life Month" in the United States, drawing upon foundational principles of human rights and dignity as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The resolution specifically references the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling, which returned regulatory power over abortion to states and their elected representatives. The resolution calls for recognizing the inherent value of human life, honoring those who support pregnant mothers and families, and urging policymakers to enact laws protecting unborn children. It aims to designate a month each year to commemorate and advocate for what the resolution describes as the sanctity of human life, highlighting the belief that every human life is a "sacred gift" with inherent dignity, and emphasizing the responsibility of citizens and elected officials to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The resolution commends faith-based organizations, pregnancy resource centers, medical professionals, and families who champion what the document describes as a "culture of life" by offering care, resources, and support to pregnant mothers and families in need.
