This concurrent resolution seeks to recognize March 10, 2025, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day" to celebrate the courage, compassion, and high-quality care offered by abortion providers and staff across the United States. The date was chosen to honor Dr. David Gunn, an abortion provider murdered on March 10, 1993, highlighting the risks faced by those in the field. The resolution underscores the essential role of these providers, including those in independent clinics, Planned Parenthood, hospitals, and private offices, in delivering care both in-person and via telehealth. It notes that the 2022 Dobbs decision , which overturned Roe v. Wade, has severely impacted abortion access, leading to bans and restrictions in numerous states. These restrictions have resulted in clinic closures, forced patients to travel long distances for care, and strained the resources of remaining providers and support organizations like abortion funds. The resolution emphasizes that abortion providers and staff play a critical role in a landscape where individuals increasingly struggle to access essential, time-sensitive care and make decisions about their bodies and futures. Congress, through this resolution, would recognize the appreciation day and laud communities that host abortion providers. It would affirm its commitment to ensuring the safety of providers and the ability of patients to access care free from violence, criminalization, or stigma. Furthermore, the resolution condemns the Supreme Court's decisions and actions by anti-abortion extremists that limit and stigmatize abortion care, which have had a devastating impact on providers and communities. It declares a vision for a future liberated from all abortion restrictions and bans, where everyone has full access to necessary care without fear of penalty or stigma, and commits Congress to working towards this goal.
