This resolution advocates for the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day" to address the significant public health issue of stillbirths in the United States. It highlights that over 21,000 pregnancies annually end in stillbirth, with notable racial disparities affecting Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Hispanic families disproportionately. The resolution emphasizes that stillbirths have a profound and lifelong impact on families and are linked to increased maternal morbidity and mortality. The resolution underscores the importance of increased awareness, better data collection, and evidence-based prevention efforts to reduce stillbirth rates. It celebrates the recent passage of the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024, which provides more federal resources for research and prevention activities. Ultimately, the House of Representatives supports the goals of this awareness day and requests the President to issue a proclamation encouraging national observance with appropriate prevention and awareness programs.
