Honoring mothers, and recognizing the significance of motherhood and the impact mothers have on raising the next generation, on the occasion of Mother's Day.

This resolution seeks to honor mothers and acknowledge the profound significance of motherhood, recognizing the vital impact mothers have on raising the next generation, particularly on Mother's Day. It highlights the historical establishment of Mother's Day and its global celebration, underscoring the universal respect for mothers and the sacrifices they make daily. The resolution emphasizes that mothers are responsible for bringing life into the world and nurturing their progeny, encompassing all forms of motherhood including stepmothers, adopted mothers, and single mothers. The resolution expresses concern that the definition of "mother" has been attacked, citing terms like "birthing person" as diminishing the significance of motherhood and the intrinsic capability of women to become mothers. It asserts that mothers are, by basic logic and commonsense definition, women, and notes that previous legislative actions have eliminated the term "mother" from House Rules. Therefore, the House of Representatives resolves to support policies that recognize mothers as mothers and affirms that Mother's Day is specifically intended to commemorate motherhood and honor the mothers of the United States. It encourages all Americans to observe Mother's Day in celebration of the women who have chosen to bring life into the world and nurture the next generation, recognizing their invaluable contributions to family, community, and country.
