## 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. - 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.
