A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day", recognizing tens of thousands of families in the United States that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.

This resolution supports designating September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day," aiming 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 alarming racial disparities disproportionately affecting Black, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic families. The resolution emphasizes the profound and lifelong impact stillbirths have on families, noting their link to increased maternal morbidity and mortality, and underscores the critical need for increased awareness and targeted prevention efforts. The resolution points out that the annual number of stillbirths far exceeds deaths from the top five leading causes for children under 15, making improved data collection, research, and evidence-based prevention strategies essential. It celebrates the recent passage of the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024, which provides federal resources for stillbirth prevention. Ultimately, the Senate supports the goals of this awareness day and requests the President to issue a proclamation for its national observance, encouraging federal action and public education.
