Overview

• Senator Ted Cruz introduced the Life Month Resolution on June 3 to honor the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade overturn.
• Twenty-six Republican senators and 22 anti-abortion groups, including Alliance Defending Freedom and Heritage Action, have co-sponsored the proposal.
• Social media users have criticized the measure as an effort to eclipse longstanding LGBTQ+ Pride Month observances.
• The U.S. Department of Education’s new federal policy designates June as Title IX month, effectively removing Pride Month from official recognition.
• A companion resolution in the House, led by Representative Chris Smith, similarly calls for a pro-life observance throughout June.
