Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

House would declare support for reproductive freedom and family care for all Americans.

This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally state its support for "Reproductive Justice." This means recognizing rights related to having or not having children, raising families, and accessing comprehensive healthcare. It would also condemn restrictions on reproductive care and the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes, setting a policy direction for future actions.

What Would Change

Today, various federal and state rules restrict personal choices about bodies and families, and the constitutional right to abortion no longer exists. Funding restrictions also often delay or deny reproductive health care. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally declare its support for "Reproductive Justice," affirming rights to comprehensive reproductive care, family formation, and condemning related restrictions and criminalization.

Key Provisions

Affirms that every person would have the right to safe childbirth and to form a family with dignity.
Commits Congress to a healthcare system that includes abortion, contraception, and gender-affirming care for everyone.
Affirms the right to plan, space, or end a pregnancy safely and legally.
Condemns the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes like miscarriage, abortion, or stillbirth.
Condemns funding rules that block reproductive health care based on income or immigration status.
Recognizes the need for universal paid family and medical leave.
