CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the recognition of March 10, 2026, as “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day”.
- (1) recognizes “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day” on March 10, 2026, to celebrate the courage, compassion, and high-quality care that abortion providers and staff offer to patients and their families across the United States;
- (2) lauds communities across the United States who are proud to be home to abortion providers and staff;
- (3) affirms the commitment of Congress to ensuring the safety of abortion providers, the ability of abortion providers to continue providing the essential care their patients need, and the right of patients to access abortion care no matter where they live, free from fear of violence, criminalization, or stigma;
- (4) condemns the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as the actions of the current administration and antiabortion extremists, to limit and stigmatize abortion care, which has had a devastating impact on abortion providers and the communities they care for, threatening the work and livelihoods of providers and staff, and worsening the strain on providers who work in States where abortion is still available; and
- (5) declares a vision for a future free from all abortion restrictions and bans, where everyone has full access to the care they need without fear of penalty or stigma, and affirms the commitment of Congress to working toward that goal in partnership with providers, patients, advocates, and their communities.
