This concurrent resolution expresses strong congressional support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family , a coalition of countries committed to advancing women's health, protecting the family, and affirming the value of life at all stages. The declaration explicitly states there is no international right to abortion and upholds the sovereign right of nations to legislate on these matters without external pressure. The United States was a lead cosponsor of this declaration during the Trump administration but was later removed as a signatory by President Biden. The resolution urges the United States to rejoin this declaration and affirms its core principles as universally valid. Congress commits to defending the sovereignty of every country to adopt national policies promoting women's health, protecting the right to life, and strengthening the family. Furthermore, it pledges to work with the executive branch to ensure the U.S. does not conduct or fund abortions, abortion lobbying, or coercive family planning in foreign countries, consistent with existing federal law.
