A resolution memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22nd day of January each year.
This Senate resolution (SRES 10) proposes a symbolic gesture: lowering the U.S. flag to half-staff on January 22 each year to "memorialize the unborn." It references the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling and the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning it, citing that over 60 million unborn children have "perished" since 1973. The resolution encourages the public to observe this day by lowering flags to mourn and honor those affected, while also urging legislators to support laws respecting "the sanctity of life." As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but makes a symbolic recognition.
