Life Month Resolution

This bill is a Joint Resolution designating the month of June as “Life Month.” Introduced in the Senate, it states that life is sacred and unalienable, referencing the Declaration of Independence and the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling to justify returning the responsibility to protect unborn life to the people and their elected representatives. The resolution is largely ceremonial and aspirational: it proclaims a yearly observance, acknowledges the role of faith-based and community groups in promoting a culture of life, and urges policymakers to defend the sanctity of life by enacting laws that protect the unborn and provide resources to help women and families choose life. It does not create new rights or spending, and it would become law only if passed by both chambers and signed by the President as a joint resolution. In practice, this is a symbolic expression of congressional sentiment intended to influence public policy debates and messaging around abortion and life-issues, rather than a substantive policy mandate.
