Plain-English Summary

Jackson Women's Health Organization, which eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion and returned abortion regulation to individual states. The measure expresses support for that ruling and its implications for how states can set their own abortion policies going forward.

[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H. Res. 1382 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1382 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. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 24, 2026 Mr. Smith of New Jersey (for himself, Mrs. Fischbach, Mr. Aderholt, Mr. Ogles, Mr. McGuire, Mr. Clyde, Mr. Higgins of Louisiana, Mr. Mann, Mr. Moore of Alabama, Mr. Rose, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Stutzman, and Mr. Webster of Florida) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ 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 error 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, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022) (referred to in this preamble as Dobbs), corrected the grave error 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 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 House of Representatives-- (1) commemorates 4 years since the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (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.…
