submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
the ,judiciary  ,,resolution            
,congratulating the pro-life movement on
 its historic victory in ,dobbs v4      
,jackson ,women's ,health ,organization4
  ,whereas the decision of the ,supreme 
,court of the ,united ,states 7referred 
to in this preamble as the ,supreme     
,court7 in ,roe v4 ,wade1 #daj ,u4,s4   
#aac 7#aigc71 was a blatant act of      
judicial activism that invented a       
constitutional right to abortion out of 
whole cloth1 with no grounding in the   
text of the ,constitution of the ,united

 ,states2 ,whereas more than #fc1jjj1jjj
 babies have been aborted in the ,united
 ,states since the decision of the      
,supreme ,court in ,roe v4 ,wade2       
,whereas the decision in ,roe v4 ,wade  
caused great damage to the democratic   
system of the ,united ,states by        
preventing citizens of the ,united      
,states from making decisions about the 
legality of abortion and instead putting
 these decisions in the hands of        
unelected ,federal judges2 ,whereas1 far
 from settling the issue of abortion in 
the ,united ,states1 the decision of the
 ,supreme ,court in ,roe v4 ,wade has   
exacerbated social tensions1 inflamed   
the politics of the ,united ,states1    
disrupted the democratic processes of   
the ,united ,states1 and divided the    
people of the ,united ,states2 ,whereas1
 in the aftermath of the decision of the
 ,supreme ,court in ,roe v4 ,wade1      
millions of volunteers1 nonpartisan     
organizations1 and lawmakers came       
together with a shared voice to stand up

 for the rights of the unborn1 who are  
the most vulnerable among us2 ,whereas  
these supporters of the pro-life        
movement come from diverse backgrounds1 
with the shared goal of building a      
society that celebrates1 protects1 and  
cherishes life at all stages2 ,whereas  
the pro-life movement has worked        
tirelessly over the last #e decades to  
reverse the legally unsound and         
destructive ruling in ,roe v4 ,wade and 
to ensure that the human dignity of     
every person is protected by law1       
regardless of age1 background1 or       
belief2 ,whereas the work of the        
pro-life movement has been more than    
simply advocating for the ,supreme      
,court to overturn ,roe v4 ,wade and    
often occurs behind the scenes1 with    
little recognition of the time and      
talent that countless individuals have  
invested in the effort to protect life2 
,whereas millions of people in the      
,united ,states have contributed to the 
cultivation of a culture of life in the 

,united ,states by marching for life on 
the streets of cities in the ,united    
,states1 engaging in sidewalk counseling
 outside abortion clinics1 providing    
resources for expectant mothers1 raising
 money and volunteering their time for  
crisis pregnancy centers1 adopting and  
fostering children1 advocating for      
life-affirming legislation in every     
,state1 and submitting amicus briefs in 
abortion-related cases at the ,state and
 ,federal level2 ,whereas1 on ,june #bd1
 #bjbb1 the ,supreme ,court issued its  
decision in ,dobbs v4 ,jackson ,women's 
,health ,organization1 ,no4 #ai-acib1   
#bjbb ,,wl #bbgfhjh 7#bjbb71 which      
overturned ,roe v4 ,wade and affirmed   
that there is no ,federal constitutional
 right to an abortion2 ,whereas the     
decision in ,dobbs v4 ,jackson ,women's 
,health ,organization represents a      
historic victory for the sanctity of    
life and for the millions of people in  
the ,united ,states who have worked     
diligently over the last #e decades to  

foster a culture of life in the ,united 
,states2 ,whereas the decision of the   
,supreme ,court in ,dobbs v4 ,jackson   
,women's ,health ,organization does not 
ban abortion but instead recognizes that
 under the constitutional system of the 
,united ,states1 the power and the duty 
to decide whether to permit or limit    
abortions lies with the ,states1 not    
unelected ,federal judges2 ,whereas1 as 
the late ,justice ,scalia recognized #c 
decades ago in his dissent in ,planned  
,parenthood of ,southeastern            
,pennsylvania v4 ,casey1 #eje ,u4,s4    
#hcc 7#aiib71 8,the permissibility of   
abortion1 and the limitations upon it1  
are to be resolved like most important  
questions in our democracy3 by citizens 
trying to persuade one another and then 
voting402 and ,whereas the decision of  
the ,supreme ,court in ,dobbs v4        
,jackson ,women's ,health ,organization 
returns the issue of abortion back to   
the ,states1 for the people of each     
,state to debate and then vote3 ,now1   

therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate--    
7#a7 congratulates the pro-life movement
 and the millions of individuals who    
have stood up for life over the last    
nearly #ej years on this historic       
victory in ,dobbs v4 ,jackson ,women's  
,health ,organization2  7#b7 celebrates 
the courage1 compassion1 and commitment 
of the millions of individuals1         
nonpartisan organizations1 and lawmakers
 who have advocated for life and labored
 tirelessly to overturn ,roe v4 ,wade2  
7#c7 lauds the ,supreme ,court of the   
,united ,states for the decision to     
return to the original understanding of 
the ,constitution of the ,united ,states
 and recognize that there is no ,federal
 constitutional right to an abortion2   
7#d7 recognizes the uniqueness of the   
political system of the ,united ,states1
 in which our ,states function as       
laboratories of democracy1 enabling     
citizens to debate issues like abortion 
in the public square and make their     
voices heard by voting2  7#e7 affirms   

the commitment of ,congress to ensuring 
the safety of supporters of the pro-life
 movement1 including lawful             
demonstrators1 volunteers1 religious    
clergy1 and crisis pregnancy center     
personnel1 as they continue to advocate 
for the sanctity of every human life in 
all #ej ,states2 and  7#f7 condemns all 
threats and incidents of violence fueled
 by the decision of the ,supreme ,court 
of the ,united ,states in ,dobbs v4     
,jackson ,women's ,health ,organization 
and affirms the commitment of ,congress 
to ensuring the safety of justices of   
the ,supreme ,court1 their law clerks1  
other ,state and ,federal judges and    
their law clerks1 members of ,congress1 
and ,state lawmakers4
