Summary
This House Resolution strongly condemns the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization , which eliminated the constitutional right to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey . The resolution highlights previous Supreme Court affirmations of a woman's liberty to terminate a pregnancy and the societal benefits of reproductive control, contrasting them with the Dobbs ruling that found no constitutional right to abortion. The resolution commits the House of Representatives to several key actions. It pledges to utilize constitutional authorities to enact judicial reform , aiming to restore public confidence in the Supreme Court and prevent it from being viewed as a partisan institution. Furthermore, it commits to ensuring that federal law advances reproductive justice , recognizing access to abortion as a fundamental liberty and healthcare for all individuals. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes protecting communities disproportionately impacted by the Dobbs decision, including women of color, undocumented women, those in poverty, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. It urges the executive branch to use its constitutional authorities and a whole-of-government approach to advance reproductive justice, citing concerns that the ruling jeopardizes other fundamental rights and has a corrosive impact on society.
