This resolution, introduced on the eve of the United States' 250th anniversary, expresses strong support for the concept of Reproductive Justice , defining it as a fundamental human right. It acknowledges that self-determination and bodily autonomy are cornerstones of democratic governance, particularly in the wake of the *Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization* decision which overturned *Roe v. Wade*. The resolution highlights that Reproductive Justice, a framework developed by Black women organizers, asserts every person's right to have children, not to have children, and to raise children in safe, thriving communities. To achieve this vision, the resolution commits to policies that ensure equitable access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare , including abortion, contraception, and gender-affirming care, free from financial or geographic barriers. It condemns the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes and reproductive coercion, while also affirming the need for universal healthcare, affordable childcare, paid family leave, and essential family supports. Ultimately, the resolution declares reproductive freedom as an indispensable foundation of democracy, dignity, and the American promise.
