Support for Women's Health and Family: Geneva Declaration

This U.S. Congressional resolution celebrates the first anniversary of the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which promotes women's health and strengthening the family. It emphasizes that there is no international right to abortion and states are not obligated to finance it, while supporting countries' sovereignty in creating their own laws in these areas. For citizens, this means an affirmation of the value of family and life at every stage, and oversight to ensure the U.S. government does not fund abortions or coercive family planning abroad.
