Recognizing the United States legacy of dismissed pain and denied autonomy in women's health care, and affirming the Federal Government's duty to protect individual dignity and advance patient-centered care in women's health.

Sponsored By: Representative Ansari

Introduced

Summary

Centering justice and bodily autonomy in women's health care is the resolution's core aim. It would acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices in gynecology and reproductive care and push for patient-centered, transparent care and stronger protections for marginalized women.

Show full summary
  • Black, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+, disabled, and low-income women would be explicitly recognized as bearing the greatest burdens, with the resolution honoring those harmed by systemic neglect and bias.
  • The text would identify specific historical abuses, including coerced sterilizations and coercive contraceptive testing in Puerto Rico, as part of the record the resolution condemns.
  • It would call for shared decision-making, better patient education and procedural transparency, expanded federal research on women’s health, and steps to end routine dismissal of women’s pain and to hold institutions accountable for bias and harm.
