Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22d day of January each year.

House Resolution 52 proposes that the United States flag be flown at half-staff every year on January 22nd. This date marks the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, and the resolution seeks to establish it as a "Day of Tears" to mourn lives lost to abortion.

If passed, the practical impact would be a recurring national observance where flags at federal buildings and public grounds are lowered. While the resolution expresses the intent of the House of Representatives, it serves as a symbolic gesture rather than a change to criminal or healthcare laws.
