Celebrating the historic anniversary of the June 24, 2022, decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution is a statement by the House of Representatives marking the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs and expressing the House's views and commitments about protecting unborn life. It does not create law, change legal rights, or require action by the President, courts, or federal agencies. It only records the position of the House and does not bind the Senate or become legally enforceable. Such resolutions are often used to express values, commemorate events, or signal priorities for future legislation.
