## Summary

**This resolution would designate March 10, 2026 as Abortion Provider Appreciation Day** to honor the courage and care of abortion providers and to call for their safety and for patients' access to abortion. - Providers and staff would receive formal recognition and a congressional affirmation of their safety. The resolution cites documented threats including 11 murders and thousands of other attacks. - Patients would be highlighted as facing increased burdens from state restrictions and clinic closures, with 20 states imposing bans by March 2026 and 51 Planned Parenthood centers closed in 2025. - The resolution would condemn Supreme Court decisions, certain administration actions, and antiabortion extremists, and it declares a vision of a future without abortion restrictions while committing to work with providers, patients, and advocates.
