                               RESOLUTION

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.

Whereas the Declaration of Independence announces the self-evident truth that
        ``all men are created equal'' and ``are endowed by their Creator with
        certain unalienable Rights'';
Whereas the first of those unalienable rights is the right to life;
Whereas modern science has illuminated our understanding of the humanity of
        unborn life;
Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States committed a grave injustice in
        Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) (referred to in this preamble as
        ``Roe''), by inventing a constitutional right to abortion, thereby
        denying a class of innocent people their right to life;
Whereas more than 63,000,000 unborn lives were lost to abortion under Roe;
Whereas, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States, in Dobbs v.
        Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) (referred to in
        this preamble as ``Dobbs''), corrected the grave injustice committed in
        Roe, by holding that ``the Constitution does not confer a right to
        abortion'' and that ``Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority
        to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected
        representatives'';
Whereas many States have taken historic steps to protect unborn life since the
        ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs;
Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs reaffirmed that
        authority to regulate abortion belongs to the people and their elected
        representatives, yet the dangerous mail-order abortion drug policy
        advanced by the Biden Administration undermined and continues to
        undermine the ability of States to enforce laws enacted to protect
        unborn life;
Whereas, after the Dobbs decision, more than 2,700 pregnancy centers across the
        United States have continued to help meet the physical, psychological,
        emotional, and spiritual needs of millions of women and families
        navigating pregnancy and to offer life-affirming alternatives to
        abortion; and
Whereas many millions of people in the United States continue to press to
        protect unborn life and strengthen support for families charged with
        protecting that life: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates 4 years since the ruling of the Supreme
        Court of the United States in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health
        Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) (referred to in this
        resolution as ``Dobbs'');
            (2) celebrates the millions of lives that will be saved as
        a result of the ruling in Dobbs;
            (3) commits to protecting the unalienable right to life and
        guarding unborn lives against lethal violence;
            (4) commits to supporting families, including new and
        expectant mothers and their children;
            (5) recognizes that the promise of Dobbs requires respect
        for the authority of the people and their elected
        representatives to enact and enforce laws protecting unborn
        life; and
            (6) commits to proclaiming the humanity of the unborn,
        consistent with the findings of modern science and the
        unswerving demands of justice.
