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

H. Res. 1428 is a resolution expressing support for Reproductive Justice on the 250th anniversary of the United States. It advocates for the right of every person to have children, not to have children, and to raise children in safe and healthy communities. The resolution calls for the protection of abortion access, gender-affirming care, and the decriminalization of pregnancy outcomes. It also emphasizes the need for universal health care, paid family leave, and affordable childcare. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure that reproductive freedom is treated as a human right for all people.
