The Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act has passed the House of Representatives. This bipartisan bill, sponsored by Rep. Ashley Hinson and Rep. Adams, and supported by various lawmakers including Rep. Pat Ryan, aims to prevent stillbirths and promote maternal and child health. The legislation addresses the silent crisis of stillbirths, which claim the lives of more than 21,000 babies each year, with some estimates as high as 23,500 babies. The bill now heads to the Senate for further approval. The passage of this act coincides with National Women's Health Week, highlighting the ongoing efforts to combat the maternal health crisis in the United States.

Proud that during this #NationalWomensHealthWeek, the House passed the Maternal & Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act that I cosponsored. I will keep fighting every day to end the maternal health crisis in this country.
Last night, the Stillbirth Prevention Act that I sponsored alongside @RepAshleyHinson passed the House! For too long, stillbirth has been a silent crisis, but 23,500 babies are stillborn every year. This bipartisan bill will help reverse this shocking trend.

Unfortunately, stillbirths claim the lives of more than 21,000 babies each year. I’m leading the charge to invest in research to end this crisis by championing the Maternal & Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act - which just passed the House of Representatives! https://t.co/niiapSf17N
