Representative Borowitz introduces resolution designating June 2025 as ‘Life Month’
Summary
Under Rule 17, the House read a resolution designating June 2025 as Life Month and urging communities to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision; the resolution was presented on the floor and the desk remained open.
Representative Borowitz (Clinton) delivered a Rule 17 resolution designating the month of June 2025 as “Life Month” in Pennsylvania and called on churches, businesses, and communities to commemorate the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
In floor remarks the sponsor characterized the resolution as affirming a duty of government to protect life and cited the June 24, 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The resolution’s text read on the floor includes assertions that more than 63,000,000 lives were lost since the Roe decision and that preliminary data suggested approximately 32,000 lives were “saved” in the first six months after Dobbs; those figures are part of the sponsor’s floor statement recorded in the transcript.
The House read the resolution under Rule 17; the desk remained open after the reading and the House was put at ease. The transcript does not record a roll-call final passage vote for the resolution in the excerpt provided.
Because the item was introduced under Rule 17, further committee or floor action is not recorded in the transcript excerpt.
