Key Points

  • This resolution officially recognizes Mother's Day and the important role mothers play in raising children. It highlights the sacrifices women make for their families and communities.
  • The proposal criticizes the use of gender-neutral terms like birthing person or pregnant people. It argues that these terms take away from the special meaning of being a mother.
  • It states that mothers are women by basic logic and common sense. The resolution also mentions that previous changes to House rules to remove the word mother were a mistake.
  • If passed, the House would formally support policies that use the word mother instead of other terms. It also encourages all Americans to celebrate the holiday on May 11, 2025.
  • The resolution notes that Wilson established the first national Mother's Day in 1914. It aims to continue this tradition by honoring the historical significance of motherhood.
