Expressing support for the recognition of March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day".

Key Points

• This resolution asks Congress to recognize March 10, 2026, as a day to honor the work of abortion providers and clinic staff. The date was chosen to remember Dr. David Gunn, a doctor who was killed outside his clinic on that day in 1993.
• The proposal describes the difficult conditions these workers face, including a history of violence and harassment. It mentions that thousands of crimes, such as threats and clinic invasions, have targeted these healthcare workers over the last few decades.
• The resolution speaks out against state bans and court rulings that have closed clinics across the country. It notes that as of early 2026, 20 states have restricted or banned abortion, making it harder for millions of people to get medical care.
• The bill calls for a future where there are no bans or restrictions on abortion. It argues that when people cannot get the care they need, they are more likely to face health problems and financial struggles.
