RES. 494 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES January 20, 2022 Mr. Braun (for himself, Mr. Daines , Mr. Inhofe , Mrs. Blackburn , Mr. Hagerty , Mr. Lankford , Mr. Hawley , and Mr. Rounds ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22nd day of January each year.

Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that abortion was a right secured by the Constitution; and Whereas, since that fateful day, over 60,000,000 unborn children have perished: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate— (1) supports the recognition of the Day of Tears in the United States on the 22nd day of January each year; and (2) encourages the people of the United States to lower their flags to half-staff to mourn and honor the innocents who have lost their lives to abortion.
