## Summary

**Recognizing and supporting abortion providers** is the bill's main goal. It would designate March 10, 2026 as Abortion Provider Appreciation Day and call out rising access barriers, clinic closures, and threats to provider safety. - Providers and staff: The resolution would celebrate the courage and high-quality care provided across in-person clinics, telehealth, Planned Parenthood health centers, hospitals, and private practices, and it affirms a commitment to provider safety amid documented violence and disruptions. - Patients and communities: It would highlight that 20 states ban some or all abortion access and that an estimated 27 million women of reproductive age lack access in their home state, and it says restrictions have increased costs and logistical burdens for patients. - Policy stance and goals: The measure would condemn actions by the Supreme Court, the current administration, and antiabortion extremists for limiting and stigmatizing care and harming communities. It would affirm Congress's commitment to patients' rights, cite the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, and declare a vision for a future without abortion restrictions.
