Whereas abortion care and gender affirming care are both 
fundamental to the bodily autonomy of LGBTQI+ indi-
viduals; 
Whereas the banning and restriction of abortion around the 
country has created abortion-provider deserts, where 
some providers can only offer medication abortion rather 
than both medication and surgical abortions; 
Whereas medication abortion is the most common form of 
pregnancy termination and accounts for more than half 
of all abortions in the United States and increased access 
to abortions; 
Whereas medication abortion is under threat by antiabortion 
advocates utilizing junk science; and 
Whereas decisions from the Supreme Court and Federal dis-
trict courts are threatening to the availability of abor-
tions: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes that women of lower socio-
economic standing face the greatest risk when abor-
tion is restricted; 
(2) acknowledges that women of racial and eth-
nic minorities and particularly Black women are at 
highest risk when abortion is restricted; 
(3) acknowledges that surgical and medication 
abortions are safe and any developments in science 
that affect abortion care should be reviewed by sci-
entific and medical experts; and

In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
November 1, 2023.

uranium to 60-percent purity; 
Whereas the United States Ambassador to the Vienna Office 
of the United Nations and to the IAEA, Laura Holgate,

riched to 83.7 percent at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility

Whereas, in March 2023, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

gerous nuclear knowledge; 
Whereas Iran’s ongoing nuclear escalation poses a serious 
threat to the United States and its partners and allies in-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives declares it 
is the policy of the United States— 
(1) that a nuclear Islamic Republic of Iran is not 
acceptable; 
(2) that Iran must not be able to obtain a nuclear
