House would back standard testing for a condition linked to miscarriages and pregnancy complications.
The House of Representatives would express its support for routinely testing pregnant people for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This condition can increase the risk of miscarriages, stillbirths, and other pregnancy issues. The resolution also asks medical groups to update their guidelines to include this testing as a standard part of prenatal care.
Today, medical groups only recommend testing for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) after a woman has had certain pregnancy losses. If this resolution passes and medical groups update their advice, testing for APS could become a standard part of prenatal screening for all pregnant individuals, potentially preventing some miscarriages and stillbirths.
