Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22d day of January each year.

This House Resolution aims to memorialize unborn lives by establishing an annual observance where the United States flag is lowered to half-staff on January 22nd . This date commemorates the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which the resolution notes has led to over 62,000,000 unborn children perishing since, prior to the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade. Beyond the official flag lowering, the resolution supports the recognition of a "Day of Tears" and encourages all people in the United States to lower their flags to mourn and honor those lost to abortion. Additionally, it urges legislators to enact laws that affirm the sanctity of life and ensure comprehensive reporting data on abortions is collected.
