## Summary

**Honoring unborn lives lost to abortion** — this resolution would recognize an annual "Day of Tears" on January 22 and encourage lowering U.S. flags to half-staff that day. It would ask the public to mourn and urge legislators to pursue laws that affirm the sanctity of life and strengthen abortion reporting, and its preamble references the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, its 2022 overturning, and cites more than 62,000,000 unborn lives lost since 1973.
