                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court 
        of the United States ruled that abortion was a right secured by the 
        Constitution; and
Whereas, since that fateful day, over 60,000,000 unborn children have perished: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the recognition of the Day of Tears in the 
        United States on the 22nd day of January each year; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to lower 
        their flags to half-staff to mourn and honor the innocents who 
        have lost their lives to abortion.
                                 <all>
