Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), Rep. Alma Adams (D-North Carolina), and Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) have introduced the bipartisan Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2022 into congress for consideration. The house and senate companion legislation would add stillbirth and stillbirth prevention to Title V of the Social Security Act — something that has been lacking since the introduction of Title V back in 1935. Healthy Birth Day, Inc. the nonprofit organization that created the Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention campaign, helped initiate the legislation after discovering the omission of stillbirth from the most important piece of maternal health legislation in our country.
