Month’’. 
Whereas the United States of America was founded on the 
principle that all people are endowed by their Creator

Whereas the right to life is a fundamental truth enshrined in 
the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed through-
out the history of the United States as a cornerstone of 
liberty and justice; 
Whereas every human life is inherently precious, has equal 
dignity and worth, and deserves legal protection;

Whereas the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. 
Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 
(2022) on June 24, 2022; 
Whereas the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson 
Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) 
rightfully returned to the people of the United States and 
their elected representatives the ability to protect inno-
cent unborn life; 
Whereas it is the responsibility of the people of the United 
States and their elected representatives to protect unborn 
life and to plead the cause of those who cannot plead for 
themselves; and 
Whereas faith-based and community organizations, pregnancy 
resource centers, medical professionals, and countless 
families across the United States serve as champions of 
life, offering essential care, resources, and support to 
pregnant mothers and families in need: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Life Month Res-
olution’’. 
SEC. 2. LIFE MONTH. 
That the House of Representatives and the Senate— 
(1) support the designation of a ‘‘Life Month’’ 
annually;
