What this bill would do
This joint resolution, titled the "Life Month Resolution," seeks to support the annual designation of June as "Life Month." The resolution asserts that human life is a sacred gift with inherent dignity and worth. It references the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization as a means to return the ability to protect unborn life to the people and their representatives. Furthermore, the text commends various groups for promoting a culture of life. Finally, it urges policymakers to enact laws that protect the unborn and provide resources for women and families.
