This concurrent resolution seeks to recognize March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day" to honor the essential, high-quality care provided by abortion providers and their staff. The date was chosen in memory of Dr. David Gunn, the first abortion provider murdered on March 10, 1993, highlighting the courage and dedication required in this field. The resolution acknowledges that abortions are provided in various settings, and all staff are crucial to patient care. The resolution details the significant challenges faced by providers, particularly following the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which led to widespread state-level restrictions and clinic closures. These actions have intensified the strain on remaining providers, limited access to care for millions, and disproportionately affected marginalized communities. It notes the increased harassment, violence, and financial burdens faced by providers and patients. Congress, through this resolution, aims to celebrate providers' work and laud communities that support them. It affirms a commitment to ensuring the safety of abortion providers and the right of patients to access care free from violence or criminalization. The resolution condemns judicial decisions and actions by administrations and anti-abortion extremists that limit and stigmatize abortion care. Ultimately, it declares a vision for a future free from all abortion restrictions and bans, where everyone has full access to necessary care, and commits Congress to working toward that goal.
