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 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 62,000,000 unborn children have perished: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the recognition of the Day of Tears in the United States;
(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 affirm the sanctity of life and ensure robust reporting data on abortions is conducted.
