Bill overview
This resolution expresses support for the Smith family and condemns the circumstances surrounding Adriana Smith’s death, which stemmed from a combination of the Black maternal health crisis, restrictive abortion laws, and a lack of patient autonomy. It specifically calls for the repeal of laws that criminalize abortion and limit pregnant people’s rights to make decisions about their own healthcare, highlighting the disproportionate impact on Black women. The resolution urges states to clarify legal interpretations regarding anti-abortion laws and prioritize patient well-being.
