A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family. It urges the United States to rejoin this international declaration.

The resolution affirms commitments to improve women's health, protect life at all stages, and uphold the family as foundational to society. It also states that there is no international right to abortion and supports working with the executive branch to prevent foreign funding or conducting of abortions, abortion lobbying, or coercive family planning.
