Progress

Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary

(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Offers the condolences of the House of Representatives to the family of Dr. George Tiller.

Declares that the House commits to the American principle that tolerance must always be superior to intolerance, and that violence is never an appropriate response to a difference in beliefs.
