HRES 1273 United States House · 119th Congress

Honoring mothers, and recognizing the significance of motherhood and the impact mothers have on raising the next generation, on the occasion of Mother's Day.

This resolution formally recognizes the importance of motherhood and honors mothers on Mother's Day. It explicitly supports policies that define mothers as women and opposes recent legislative efforts to remove the term "mother" from official House rules. The text also acknowledges various types of mothers, including stepmothers, adopted mothers, and single mothers, while rejecting alternative terms like "birthing person" or "gestational parent." Ultimately, the bill encourages the public to celebrate the sacrifices and contributions of mothers to the nation.
