S. Res. 401 is a Senate resolution that designates September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day" to recognize families affected by stillbirth and promote prevention efforts. The resolution acknowledges that more than 21,000 pregnancies in the United States end in stillbirth annually, with significant racial disparities affecting Black, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Hispanic families disproportionately. The resolution supports the goals of increased awareness, evidence-based prevention efforts, and improved research while calling on the President and federal officials to take action to reduce stillbirths and educate expectant families on prevention. This is a symbolic measure that does not allocate funding or create new programs but celebrates the passage of the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024, which authorized federal resources for stillbirth prevention and research.
