FILE - California Attorney General Rob Bonta takes questions from the media as he announces charges made against suspects involved in an organized retail crime ring during a news conference in Los Angeles Tuesday, March 19, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — California ’s attorney general is suing a Catholic hospital, saying that Providence St. Joseph Hospital illegally denied emergency abortion care to a woman whose pregnancy was no longer viable after her water broke 15 weeks into carrying twins.
According to the complaint, Nusslock was told by the doctor at the hospital that they could not provide an abortion “so long as one of Anna’s twins had detectable heart tones, unless Anna’s life was sufficiently at risk.” The doctor recommended she take a helicopter to the University of California, San Francisco for emergency services. But she doubted her insurance would cover the $40,000 cost of the ride.
A spokesperson for Providence Hospital, the hospital’s parent company, said in a statement that it was reviewing the complaint.
