JUSTINA PELLETIER BRINGS CONGRESS TO ITS FEET:
"Home less than a month, Justina Pelletier received a standing ovation on Wednesday from about 70 members of Congress during a whirlwind trip to Washington D.C. to push for a new bill nicknamed "Justina's Law."
Justina traveled with family to advocate for the bill, aimed at protecting children from a fate similar to one Justina just endured, according to the family.
Introduced by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, (R-Minn) and co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Larson, (D-1st District), the bill seeks to ban federal funding for medical experiments on children who are wards of the state."
