Recognizing the United States legacy of dismissed pain and denied autonomy in women's health care, and affirming the Federal Government's duty to protect individual dignity and advance patient-centered care in women's health.

This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally recognize past and ongoing harms in women's health care, including dismissed pain, sterilization and medical testing without consent, and limits on women's medical decisions. It would honor women who were denied control over their bodies. It would state support for shared decision-making, patient education, and more research on women's health conditions. It would also state a commitment to expanding access to reproductive and gynecological care, increasing federal funding for women's health research, and holding institutions accountable for bias and harm. The resolution does not create new laws or spending.
