Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-staff on the 22d day of January each year.
HRES 52 is a non-binding House resolution proposing that the U.S. flag be lowered to half-staff on January 22 each year to memorialize individuals affected by abortion policies since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. It specifically references the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (January 22, 1973) and the 2022 overturning of that ruling. The resolution encourages the public to observe this gesture as a memorial and urges lawmakers to support legislation respecting "the sanctity of life." As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new law or directly affect any specific group.
