                                 ______
                                 

SENATE RESOLUTION 494--MEMORIALIZING THE UNBORN BY LOWERING THE UNITED 
     STATES FLAG TO HALF-STAFF ON THE 22ND DAY OF JANUARY EACH YEAR

  Mr. BRAUN (for himself, Mr. Daines, Mr. Inhofe, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. 
Hagerty, Mr. Lankford, Mr. Hawley, and Mr. Rounds) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the 
Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 494

       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.
