Full title

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy should be permanently established.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that Congress should expeditiously consider codifying into law the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, which prohibits U.S. foreign assistance funds from going to organizations that perform abortions or actively promote them for family planning.
