Bill > HRes938

This resolution condemns the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion. The resolution highlights the potential far-reaching consequences of the ruling, including risks to other fundamental rights like contraception, interracial marriage, and same-sex marriage, and notes the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities such as women of color, undocumented women, low-income individuals, and LGBTQIA+ persons. It commits the House of Representatives to several key actions: condemning the Supreme Court's decision, pursuing judicial reform to restore public confidence in the Court, enacting federal laws to protect reproductive rights, safeguarding vulnerable communities, and urging the executive branch to advance reproductive justice. The resolution draws extensively on the dissenting opinion in the Dobbs case, which argued that the ruling strips women of their status as free and equal citizens, potentially criminalizes abortion, and threatens to allow states to impose severe restrictions on reproductive healthcare, including banning abortion from the moment of fertilization and potentially preventing women from seeking abortion services in other states.
