 JOINT RESOLUTION

 Designating the month of June as ``Life Month''.

Whereas the United States of America was founded on the principle that all 
 people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, 
 including the right to life;
Whereas the right to life is a fundamental truth enshrined in the Declaration of 
 Independence and reaffirmed throughout the history of the United States 
 as a cornerstone of liberty and justice;
Whereas every human life is inherently precious, has equal dignity and worth, 
 and deserves legal protection;
Whereas the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health 
 Organization, 597 U.S. 215

    (2022) on June 24, 2022;
Whereas the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health 
 Organization, 597 U.S. 215

    (2022) rightfully returned to the people of 
 the United States and their elected representatives the ability to 
 protect innocent unborn life;
Whereas it is the responsibility of the people of the United States and their 
 elected representatives to protect unborn life and to plead the cause of 
 those who cannot plead for themselves; and
Whereas faith-based and community organizations, pregnancy resource centers, 
 medical professionals, and countless families across the United States 
 serve as champions of life, offering essential care, resources, and 
 support to pregnant mothers and families in need: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

 This resolution may be cited as the ``Life Month Resolution''.

SEC. 2. LIFE MONTH.

 That the Senate and the House of Representatives--

    (1) designate a ``Life Month'' annually;

    (2) recognize that every human life is a sacred gift from 
 God, possessing inherent dignity and worth;

    (3) reaffirm the fundamental truth recognized in the 
 Declaration of Independence that life is an unalienable right;

    (4) commend individuals, parents, families, faith-based 
 organizations, and communities who work to promote a culture of 
 life; and

    (5) urge policymakers to defend the sanctity of human life 
 by enacting laws that protect the unborn and provide resources 
 to empower women and families to choose life.
