About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 12, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for designating March 10, 2026, as "Abortion Provider Appreciation Day." The resolution honors abortion providers and clinic staff for delivering essential healthcare services and recognizes March 10 specifically because Dr. David Gunn, an abortion provider, was murdered on that date in 1993. The measure addresses concerns about the impact of state abortion bans and restrictions since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, noting that clinic closures, increased patient hardship, and harassment of providers have intensified. The resolution calls on Congress to affirm its commitment to protecting abortion provider safety, ensuring patient access to abortion care regardless of location, and condemning restrictions on abortion services. As a concurrent resolution, this measure expresses the sense of Congress but does not create law, appropriate funds, or carry binding legal authority.
