## Summary

**Designating an annual Life Month** and urging laws and supports to protect unborn life are the resolution's central goals. It would affirm that every human life has inherent dignity and reaffirm the Declaration of Independence's statement that life is an unalienable right. It would commend parents, families, faith-based and community organizations, pregnancy resource centers, and medical professionals who assist pregnant people. It would urge lawmakers to enact protections for the unborn and provide resources to empower women and families to choose life, and it would ask both chambers to support an annual Life Month. The title and preamble point to June but the operative text itself only calls for an annual designation.
