Bill Summary
Expressing support for the recognition of March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day".
AI Summary
This 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. It acknowledges that March 10 was chosen in memory of Dr. David Gunn, an abortion provider killed on that date in 1993. The resolution highlights the essential role of abortion providers in communities, especially in light of the Supreme Court's decision in *Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization* which overturned *Roe v. Wade*, leading to increased restrictions and bans on abortion access in many states. It condemns actions that limit abortion care and emphasizes Congress's commitment to ensuring the safety of providers, their ability to offer essential services, and patients' right to access abortion care without fear of violence or stigma, ultimately advocating for a future where abortion restrictions are eliminated and access to care is universal.
