Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution expresses support for testing for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) as a standard part of prenatal screening. APS is a condition where the immune system produces antibodies that increase blood clot risks. These risks can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, and other pregnancy complications. Currently, medical guidelines only recommend testing after specific unexplained losses have occurred. The resolution calls for testing during normal prenatal screening to potentially save babies and reduce grief. It also asks medical associations to update their official recommendations to include this testing.
