H.Res. 522 is a House resolution expressing support for Adriana Smith, an Atlanta nurse who was declared brain dead at 9 weeks pregnant in February 2025 and whose body is being maintained on life support without her family's consent. The resolution addresses concerns that anti-abortion laws and fetal rights provisions are creating confusion in medical settings, chilling healthcare delivery, and stripping pregnant people of their right to make their own medical decisions—including enforcing advance directives. The resolution specifically criticizes Georgia's LIFE Act and calls on states to repeal abortion bans, repeal laws that prevent pregnant people from enforcing advance directives, clarify how anti-abortion laws should apply in medical settings, and reaffirm pregnant people's autonomy over their medical care. The resolution also highlights the disproportionate maternal mortality crisis affecting Black women and condemns the systemic barriers that contribute to inadequate medical treatment in this population. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms; it expresses Congress's position rather than creating new law or policy.
