                               RESOLUTION


 
  Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-
               staff on the 22d day of January each year.

Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court 
        ruled that abortion was a right secured by the Constitution; and
Whereas since that fateful day, over 60 million unborn children have perished: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
recognition of the Day of Tears in the United States of America and 
that the citizens therein be encouraged to lower their flags to half-
staff to mourn and honor the innocents who have lost their lives to 
abortion.
                                 <all>
