Anna Nusslock went to her local hospital while 15 weeks pregnant and in severe pain, only to be told that her twins were not viable and she needed an emergency abortion. The hospital, a Catholic facility, refused to provide the care she needed, leading to a lawsuit filed by the California Attorney General. The case highlights the restrictions placed on reproductive health care by Catholic hospitals, even in states like California where abortion is legal. With closures of maternity wards and Catholic hospitals expanding, patients are facing barriers to receiving necessary medical care. The lawsuit aims to ensure hospitals follow state laws to protect patients.
