What this bill would do
This joint resolution, known as the "Life Month Resolution," proposes designating the month of June as "Life Month" every year. The resolution asserts that human life is a sacred gift with inherent dignity and that the right to life is an unalienable right. It references the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization as a mechanism that returned the ability to protect unborn life to the people and their representatives. Additionally, the resolution aims to commend those working to promote a culture of life. Finally, it urges policymakers to enact laws that protect the unborn and support families.

The opposite
Does this make abortion easier to get?-5
The resolution specifically aims to protect unborn life and urges laws to protect the unborn, which aligns with the reversal of abortion access via Dobbs.
Would women be better off under this?-3
While the bill mentions empowering women, its primary legislative aim of protecting unborn life impacts women's reproductive autonomy.
