This concurrent resolution expresses strong congressional support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family . The declaration, initially co-sponsored by the United States under the Trump administration, emphasizes advancing women's health, protecting the family as a societal foundation, and affirming the value of life at all stages. It explicitly states there is no international right to abortion and no obligation for states to finance or facilitate it, while also upholding the sovereign right of countries to legislate on these matters without external pressure. The resolution notes that the United States was temporarily removed as a signatory under the Biden administration. Congress, through this resolution, affirms the universal validity of the Geneva Consensus Declaration's principles and welcomes opportunities to strengthen its support. It commits to defending the sovereignty of nations to adopt policies promoting women's health, protecting the right to life, and strengthening the family. Furthermore, the resolution urges the executive branch to ensure the United States continues to adhere to longstanding federal laws prohibiting the funding or conducting of abortions, abortion lobbying, or coercive family planning in foreign countries.
