This concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for recognizing March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day." The resolution honors abortion providers and clinic staff for delivering healthcare services and commemorates Dr. David Gunn, an abortion provider killed on March 10, 1993. The resolution documents the impact of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, noting that 20 states have banned abortion as of March 2026, leading to clinic closures, reduced access to care, and increased harassment and violence against providers. It affects abortion providers, clinic staff, and patients seeking abortion services, particularly in states with restrictions. The resolution calls on Congress to protect provider safety, ensure patient access to abortion care nationwide, and work toward eliminating all abortion restrictions—though as a concurrent resolution, it expresses the sense of Congress rather than creating binding law or allocating specific funding.
