Key Points

This resolution asks Congress to officially recognize March 10, 2025, as a day to thank doctors, nurses, and office staff who provide abortion services. The date was chosen to honor Dr. David Gunn, a provider who was killed on this day in 1993.
The proposal highlights the difficulties these workers face, including threats of violence, harassment, and new legal restrictions in many states. It notes that 19 states have banned some or all abortion access as of early 2025.
The resolution also criticizes the Supreme Court's decision to end the national right to an abortion and speaks out against efforts to limit reproductive healthcare. It expresses a goal of a future where everyone can access this care without fear or legal penalties.
