A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution addresses the history of dismissed pain and denied autonomy in women's health care within the United States. It highlights how various groups of women have faced systemic neglect, exploitation, and lack of consent in medical practices. The resolution recognizes that recent rollbacks on reproductive rights have impacted access to care and caused medical emergencies. To move forward, the House of Representatives aims to honor those who suffered from systemic bias. The resolution calls for a shift toward patient-centered approaches and expanded research in women's health. Finally, it commits to protecting bodily autonomy and increasing Federal investment in this field.
