A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2023, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day", recognizing tens of thousands of American families that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.
SRES 349 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 19, 2023, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day." It recognizes that approximately 21,000 pregnancies end in stillbirth annually in the U.S., with higher risks for Black, Hispanic, Native Pacific Islander, and Indigenous families. The resolution calls for increased public awareness, support for evidence-based prevention efforts, and better data collection to address this issue. It requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide observance through awareness programs, without creating new laws or funding.
