Summary

This resolution honors mothers and recognizes the profound significance of motherhood, acknowledging their vital role in raising the next generation and the sacrifices they make daily. It highlights the historical establishment of Mother's Day in 1914 and its global celebration as a testament to the universal respect for mothers. The resolution asserts that the definition of "mother" has faced recent attacks from groups seeking to diminish its significance, specifically criticizing terms like "birthing person" or "gestational parent." It emphasizes that mothers are, by basic logic, women, and that redefining motherhood ignores the intrinsic capability of women to become mothers. To reaffirm the importance of motherhood, the House of Representatives resolves to support policies that recognize mothers as mothers and acknowledges that Mother's Day is specifically intended to commemorate and honor mothers. It encourages all Americans to observe Mother's Day in celebration of women who bring life into the world and nurture future generations, recognizing their invaluable contributions to family, community, and country.
