HEALTH: Requests certain entities to evaluate the use of certain terms related to miscarriage
Taken by the Clerk of the House and presented to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Rules of the House.
Summary
The Louisiana House adopted a resolution asking the WHO, U.S. health agencies, professional medical groups and coding authorities to examine the language used for miscarriage and pregnancy loss. It encourages replacing terms like "spontaneous abortion" with more patient‑centered wording such as "miscarriage" or "early pregnancy loss." The goal is to reduce confusion and emotional distress for women and families while preserving medical accuracy and billing integrity.
