[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H. Res. 1273 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1273 Honoring mothers, and recognizing the significance of motherhood and the impact mothers have on raising the next generation, on the occasion of Mother's Day. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 11, 2026 Mr. Weber of Texas (for himself, Mr. Babin, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Moolenaar, Mr. Moore of Alabama, Ms. Hageman, Mr. Sessions, Mrs. Miller of Illinois, Mr. Hunt, Ms. Tenney, Mr. Carter of Georgia, Mrs. Bice, Mr. McCormick, Mr. Moore of Utah, Ms. Salazar, Mr. Mast, Mrs. Harshbarger, Mr. Moran, Mr. Rulli, Mr. Smith of New Jersey, Mr. McDowell, Mr. Goldman of Texas, and Mr. Loudermilk) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Honoring mothers, and recognizing the significance of motherhood and the impact mothers have on raising the next generation, on the occasion of Mother's Day. Whereas President Woodrow Wilson issued a Presidential proclamation on May 9, 1914, establishing the first national Mother's Day holiday to celebrate America's mothers; Whereas Mother's Day is celebrated around the world, demonstrating the historical significance and universal respect for mothers and motherhood; Whereas, on Mother's Day, families are blessed with the opportunity to celebrate their mothers, the sacrifices mothers make daily, and everything motherhood represents; Whereas mothers are responsible for raising the next generation and deserve to be celebrated for the special ability only they have to bring life into this world; Whereas mothers are both strong and nurturing, traits which are critical to the development of their progeny; Whereas mothers such as stepmothers, adopted mothers, and single mothers are also vital to the fabric of this Nation and the story of motherhood; Whereas the definition of ``mother'' has come under attack in recent years from various groups that seek to diminish the significance of motherhood; Whereas redefining motherhood attacks the fundamental truth of the human experience and ignores the intrinsic capability women have to become mothers; Whereas the terms ``birthing person'', ``gestational parent'', ``chest feeder'', ``menstruating people'', ``pregnant people'', and ``people with a capacity for pregnancy'', among others, diminish the significance of motherhood; Whereas, in the 117th Congress, Democrats incomprehensibly passed legislation that eliminated the term ``mother'' from the House Rules, tantamount to an attack on motherhood at the most fundamental level; Whereas mothers are, by basic logic and commonsense definition, women; and Whereas, on Sunday, May 10, 2026, the United States will celebrate Mother's Day, thus providing Americans the opportunity to express their love and reverence for the mothers of this Nation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) supports policies that recognize mothers as mothers; (2) acknowledges that Mother's Day is intended specifically to commemorate motherhood and to honor the mothers of the United States; (3) recognizes the importance of motherhood, the sacrifices women make when choosing to raise a family, and the invaluable contributions of motherhood to the family, community, States, and country as a whole; and (4) encourages the people of the United States to observe Mother's Day in celebration of the women who have chosen to bring life into the world and nurture the next generation. <all>
