On National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, Schneider Leads Introduction of Bipartisan Resolution Recognizing Individuals Who Have Experienced the Loss of a Pregnancy or Infant

Statement

Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10), Anthony Gonzalez (OH-02), Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), and Jaime Herrera-Beutler (WA-03) introduced a resolution recognizing individuals who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy or infant. In 2006, Congress first recognized October 15th as "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day."

"Losing a pregnancy or young child is devasting. This National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, Congress stands with all individuals and families affected by these losses. Their experiences cannot and should not be minimized or forgotten; rather, we must remember and recognize their loss and through it find communal strength and resolve. By increasing awareness, promoting research, and providing community to those who have experienced such a loss, we can help prevent future suffering," said Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10).
