Expressing opposition to the use of State power against people in the United States seeking essential health care, including criminalization of the full range of sexual and reproductive health care such as abortion, gender-affirming care, and contraceptive care, and disapproving of State punishment of people for their pregnancy outcomes.

House Resolution 561 is a non-binding proposal that formally expresses the House of Representatives' opposition to state laws that criminalize or punish individuals for seeking reproductive and sexual health care. The resolution specifically condemns legal actions against those seeking abortions, gender-affirming care, and contraceptives, as well as the prosecution of individuals based on pregnancy outcomes. While it does not change federal law or strike down existing state regulations, it serves as an official statement of support for expanding healthcare access and protecting patients and providers from state-level legal penalties.
