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 concurrent resolution commends state and local governments for treating reproductive rights as human rights. It addresses the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, which eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion. The text argues that current abortion restrictions in various states are inconsistent with international human rights obligations. It highlights the risks and legal dangers faced by pregnant people and healthcare providers due to these restrictions. Finally, the resolution urges states to repeal laws that criminalize abortion and pregnancy outcomes.
