 Recognizing the importance of access to comprehensive, high-quality, 
           life-affirming medical care for women of all ages.

Whereas women of all ages should have access to comprehensive, convenient, 
        compassionate, life-affirming, high-quality medical services;
Whereas all women should feel empowered and equipped with the knowledge to 
        listen to their body and advocate for their health;
Whereas health care for women should emphasize the whole woman, including her 
        physical, mental, and spiritual wellness;
Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, 
        and communities as they relate to women's health care;
Whereas health care centers should include access to social services that 
        empower women to care for their health;
Whereas Pro Women's Healthcare Centers is a consortium of centers that serves as 
        an example of the high-quality, comprehensive, life-affirming care that 
        women deserve;
Whereas every Pro Women's Healthcare Center-certified clinic has a licensed 
        medical professional;
Whereas every Pro Women's Healthcare Center offers comprehensive health 
        services, including well-woman exams, sexually transmitted disease 
        testing and treatment, breast exams, pregnancy testing, prenatal and 
        pregnancy care, miscarriage support, fertility awareness instruction, 
        infertility consultation, and onsite or nearby, direct referrals for 
        material, emotional, practical, and spiritual resources; and
Whereas Pro Women's Healthcare Centers has certified health care centers 
        nationwide that meet its standards for high-quality, life-affirming care 
        and continue to do so: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses its support for women nationwide to have 
        access to comprehensive, convenient, compassionate, life-
        affirming, high-quality health care; and
            (2) recognizes the high standards established by Pro 
        Women's Healthcare Centers consortium as standards worth 
        implementing nationwide.
