Personhood USA: Judge puts Justina's health in jeopardy, further delays in case

BOSTON, March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At the hearing today, Judge Johnston took under advisement the motions previously submitted by the Pelletiers, but refused to take action about Justina's care or custody.

Despite Justina's worsening condition, Judge Johnston still has not enforced his ruling to transfer Justina's medical care to Tufts. Justina remains at the Framingham Foster Facility and has not been seen by a single doctor, apart from an emergency room visit on Saturday, due to her declining medical condition.

Rev. Patrick Mahoney, family spokesperson for the Pelletiers and director of the Washington D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition said: "It is a disgrace that Judge Johnston has not returned Justina back to her family. Her condition continues to worsen, yet the judge is just kicking the can down the road and delaying the reunion of this family."

Keith Mason, President of Personhood USA, said: "Judge Johnston is starting to say the right things, but now he needs to do the right thing. Justina needs to be seen by the doctors at Tufts and she needs to be returned to her family."
