Whereas, on June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme
Court issued its historical decision in Dobbs v. Jackson
Women’s Health, holding that ‘‘the Constitution does not
confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be over-
ruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be re-
turned to the people and their elected representatives.’’:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate— 1
(1) expresses profound gratitude to Mississippi 2
State Representative Becky Currie for introducing 3
the catalyst that ultimately brought about the his-4
torical victory of overturning Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 5
113 (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 503 6
U.S. 833 (1992); and 7
(2) honors life-affirming States across the coun-8
try that have enacted laws aimed to value and pro-9
tect the inherent dignity of every mother and unborn 10
child. 11
