The bill aims to bring attention to the issue of abortion and honor the lives that have been lost.The bill does not propose any specific actions or policies related to abortion, but rather serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the impact of abortion on unborn children. Supporters of the bill argue that lowering the flag to half-staff on this day will raise awareness about the issue of abortion and encourage discussion about the rights of the unborn.
Opponents of the bill may argue that it is a divisive and controversial issue, and that lowering the flag to half-staff may be seen as a political statement rather than a respectful gesture.
