SCONRES 22 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A concurrent resolution 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.

This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a 2020 agreement signed by 32 countries (now 36) that promotes women's health while emphasizing family protection and affirming no international right to abortion. It urges the U.S. to rejoin the declaration, which reaffirms principles like the inherent dignity of life, the family as society's foundation, and national sovereignty over health policies. The resolution does not change existing law but calls for oversight to ensure U.S. foreign funding avoids abortion-related activities, consistent with current federal prohibitions. It directly affects U.S. foreign policy posture and diplomatic engagement with the declaration's signatory nations.
