Hinson Applauds Senate Passage of Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement following Senate passage of her bipartisan, bicameral Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act. This legislation amends Title V, the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant of the Social Security Act, to clarify that stillbirth prevention activities and research are an allowable use of funds. This clarification will support stillbirth prevention activities, saving the lives of mothers and babies.

“Stillbirth is a preventable tragedy — we can end this silent crisis and ensure no mom or dad has to endure the pain of a stillbirth. With Senate passage of the Maternal Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act, we are one step closer to ending this tragedy. I'll continue fighting to save moms and babies — let's get this done!” - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
