Expressing support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family and urging that the United States rejoin this historic declaration.
HCONRES 74 is a non-binding congressional resolution expressing support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a 2020 agreement signed by 36 countries affirming that no international right to abortion exists, protecting life at all stages, and prioritizing the family as society's foundation. It urges the U.S. to rejoin this declaration, which the Biden administration temporarily withdrew from, while noting existing U.S. laws already prohibit federal funding for abortions or coercive family planning abroad. The resolution does not create new laws but calls on the President to restore U.S. participation and directs oversight to ensure U.S. foreign aid aligns with current abortion funding restrictions. It directly addresses U.S. foreign policy engagement with international health initiatives but does not affect domestic laws or policies.
