The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.57 of the Revised Code, which designates January 22 as the "Day of Tears." This day is intended to observe the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on January 22, 1973, which established abortion as a constitutional right. The "Day of Tears" serves as a time to remember and mourn the lives of unborn children lost to abortion.

Additionally, the bill encourages residents of Ohio to lower their flags to half-staff on this day as a sign of respect and remembrance. The language inserted into the law emphasizes the significance of the date and the intention behind the observance, highlighting the emotional impact of the ruling and its consequences.
