Supporting the designation of October 15, 2024, as "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day" and recognizing the people who have lost a pregnancy or an infant.

HRES 1542 is a symbolic resolution designating October 15, 2024, as "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day" to honor individuals and families who have experienced pregnancy loss or infant death. It directly affects those who have endured such losses by affirming their experiences and promoting awareness of the emotional impact - citing that approximately 1 million pregnancies end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death annually in the U.S. The resolution requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide observance through community activities and support. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to reduce stigma and foster understanding around this issue.
