                               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 of the United States;
Whereas, on June 24, 2022, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court of 
        the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), to affirm 
        that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to 
        abortion; and
Whereas, since January 22, 1973, more than 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;
            (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; and
            (3) encourages legislators to enact laws that respect the 
        sanctity of life.
