eral law, as confirmed by the December 23, 2022, De-

Whereas telehealth services for medication abortion are safe 
and dramatically improve accessibility of reproductive 
health care services; and 
Whereas the drug mifepristone was appropriately approved 
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 
U.S.C. 301 et seq.): Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Freedom to De-
cide Act’’. 
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress to— 
(1) affirm the existing authority to distribute 
medication abortion under Federal law, as confirmed 
by the December 23, 2022, Department of Justice’s 
Office of Legal Counsel Memorandum Opinion for 
the General Counsel of the United States Postal 
Service which states in part that ‘‘Section 1461 of 
title 18 of the U.S. Code does not prohibit the mail-
ing of certain drugs that can be used to perform 
abortions where the sender lacks the intent that the 
recipient of the drugs will use them unlawfully.’’;

Whereas many other countries recognize lifeguards as emer-
