This House Resolution condemns the Supreme Court's decision to overturn federal abortion rights, returning the issue to individual states. The document highlights that this decision could jeopardize other personal rights and negatively impact millions of women, especially those from minority and lower-income groups. The House commits to advancing reproductive justice and judicial reform.
Key points
The Supreme Court's decision means states can now ban or severely restrict abortion, directly impacting women's access to healthcare.
The resolution suggests this ruling could pave the way for challenging other rights, such as contraception, interracial marriage, and same-sex marriage.
