Condemning the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and committing to advancing reproductive justice and judicial reform.
Summary
H.Res. 938 is a non-binding resolution introduced in the House that condemns the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the landmark cases that had protected federal abortion rights. The resolution commits to advancing reproductive justice and judicial reform in response to this decision.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a statement of the House's position on the Supreme Court's decision and expresses the chamber's commitment to certain policy goals. The resolution is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
If passed, this resolution would not directly change any laws or policies affecting citizens' access to abortion or reproductive healthcare. Rather, it would represent a formal congressional statement opposing the Court's decision and signaling support for future legislative efforts related to reproductive rights and potential reforms to the judicial system.
