AI Summary

This concurrent resolution expresses support for recognizing March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day" to honor the courage, compassion, and high-quality care provided by abortion providers and their staff, acknowledging the essential services they offer to communities and those who travel for care. The resolution highlights that March 10 was chosen to commemorate Dr. David Gunn, the first known murdered abortion provider, and emphasizes the critical role of various facilities, including independent clinics, Planned Parenthood centers, hospitals, and private offices, in delivering abortion care. It also addresses the significant challenges faced by providers and patients following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision, leading to widespread state-level bans and restrictions on abortion access, clinic closures, increased travel burdens for patients, and a rise in harassment and violence against providers, as documented by reports from organizations like the National Abortion Federation. Furthermore, the resolution condemns actions that limit and stigmatize abortion care, which have negatively impacted providers and communities, and declares a vision for a future where abortion restrictions are eliminated and everyone has unrestricted access to necessary care without fear of penalty or stigma.
