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

Today's testimony was only the second time in the Republican Study Committee's history that a noncommittee member has addressed the committee. After hearing Justina's story, she received a standing ovation, and 13 members cosponsored the bill on the spot. Tomorrow Justina will meet with a bipartisan group of legislators, followed by a press conference at 11:00 a.m. ET on Capitol Hill.

Children are not guinea pigs and should not be treated as such. Funding such treatment creates a perverse incentive for hospitals to claim ‘medical abuse’ on the part of parents, and for states to remove children from their loving parents and turn them over to the hospitals, all with federal tax dollars.

Take Back America

This revised edition (2011) by Mat Staver lays out the clear biblical and historical basis for bringing America back to her roots.

"God is the foundation of good government and national prosperity...America is broken...Something must be done. America doesn't need another program. Money won't fix our problems. Articulate politicians will not save us. We need God in America again."

Paperback, 118 pages. Suggested Donation of $12.00.
