Sponsored By: Representative Ansari, Yassamin [D-AZ-3]
Introduced
Summary
Bodily autonomy is the central aim of this resolution. It would acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices in U.S. women’s health care and push for patient-centered care, expanded access, more research, and institutional accountability.
Show full summary
- Marginalized women (Black, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+, disabled, low-income) are singled out. The resolution recognizes abuses such as nonconsensual sterilizations and coerced contraceptive testing and honors those harmed.
- Patients would be pushed toward shared decision-making, clearer patient education, procedural transparency, and efforts to end the normalization of pain in gynecological care.
- Access and legal protections: the text commits to expanding reproductive and gynecological health care and strengthening protections for bodily autonomy.
- Research and oversight: it calls for increased federal investment in women’s health research and for holding medical and governmental institutions accountable for bias and harm.
