Washington, DC—Today, Justina Pelletier visited Washington, D.C., to tell members of Congress about the ordeal she experienced at the hands of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Boston Children's Hospital. Justina urged Congress to pass “Justina's Law,” a bill named after her which would defund involuntary medical research upon children in state custody. Liberty Counsel began representing the Pelletiers in late February and worked diligently in the courts to free Justina. Liberty Counsel’s office in Washington, D.C., arranged for Justina's testimony today, along with other meetings with legislators this week.
