Whereas women of all ages should have access to comprehensive, convenient,
compassionate, life-affirming, high-quality medical services;
Whereas all women should feel empowered and equipped with the knowledge to
listen to their body and advocate for their health;
Whereas health care for women should emphasize the whole woman, including her
physical, mental, and spiritual wellness;
Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families,
and communities as they relate to women's health care;
Whereas health care centers should include access to social services that
empower women to care for their health;
Whereas Pro Women's Healthcare Centers is a consortium of centers that serves as
an example of the high-quality, comprehensive, life-affirming care that
women deserve;
Whereas every Pro Women's Healthcare Center certified clinic has a licensed
medical professional;
Whereas every Pro Women's Healthcare Center offers comprehensive health
services, including well-woman exams, sexually transmitted disease
testing and treatment, breast exams, pregnancy testing, prenatal and
pregnancy care, miscarriage support, fertility awareness instruction,
infertility consultation, and onsite or nearby, direct referrals for
material, emotional, practical, and spiritual resources; and
Whereas Pro Women's Healthcare Centers has certified health care centers
nationwide that meet its standards for high-quality, life-affirming care
and continue to do so: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

access to comprehensive, convenient, compassionate, life-
affirming, high-quality health care; and
