What does this do?
HJRES 98 asks Congress to officially recognize June as "Life Month" each year. It creates no new laws, spends no money, and bans nothing. It is a purely symbolic statement expressing the opinion of Congress and carries no legal enforcement power.
Who does it affect?
This resolution has no direct legal or financial effect on any individual or group. Pregnant women, abortion providers, pregnancy resource centers, religious organizations, and state lawmakers are among those who may take note of its policy signal.
Why does it matter?
The resolution references the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which removed the federal constitutional right to abortion and returned abortion law to individual states. It signals the priorities of its sponsors and may offer guidance on the direction some members of Congress wish future abortion-related policy to take.
