Bill Summary

A Resolution recognizing the month of October 2025 as "Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.

AI Summary

This resolution recognizes October 2025 as "Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania, drawing attention to the significant impact of pregnancy and infant loss in the United States. The resolution highlights that approximately 1 million pregnancies annually end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death, with about 25% of pregnancies ending in miscarriage (before the 20th week) and 1% in stillbirth (after the 20th week). It emphasizes the disproportionate effect on Black parents, who are more likely to experience pregnancy loss due to systemic healthcare disparities and structural racism. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the profound emotional impact of such losses, advocating for compassionate support, workplace bereavement leave, and better education for professionals who interact with affected families. By recognizing October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, the resolution seeks to honor the memories of lost pregnancies and infants, support grieving families, and promote understanding of these deeply personal experiences.
