With at least 25% of stillbirths being preventable, this resolution stresses the importance of advancing evidence-based stillbirth prevention efforts in the United States.\n\n\"Improving prenatal education and access to maternal care\u2014especially in rural areas where women may travel over an hour to see a provider\u2014is critical to protecting babies and reducing maternal mortality tragedies. Getting my bipartisan Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act signed into law was a major step, but more must be done to support expecting moms and prevent stillbirths. I\u2019m proud to reintroduce this resolution recognizing September 19th as National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day and will continue working across the aisle to end the tragedy of stillbirth.\u201d \u2013 Congresswoman Ashley Hinson\n\n\u201cIt has already taken way too long for Congress to wake up to the tragedy that is our country's stillbirth crisis. We have made some great progress, but there is so much more to be done. We already have many innovative solutions to reduce stillbirth \u2014 our country just hasn't invested in them at a national scale. We can, and we must do better for our moms.\u201d \u2013 Congresswoman Alma Adams\n\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of every 175 births\u2014more than 20,000 per year\u2014tragically results in a stillbirth.\n\nThe bipartisan, bicameral resolution is supported by 46 organizations, including Healthy Birth Day, Inc., March of Dimes, and the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.
