Anna Nusslock is suing Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka for allegedly denying her life-saving abortion care while experiencing a miscarriage with twins. She hopes the lawsuit will ensure the hospital complies with California law regarding abortion care. Providence claims it adheres to the law but faces legal challenges, including an ongoing lawsuit from the California Attorney General that aims to hold the hospital accountable. The suit seeks to create a permanent injunction affecting all St. Joseph hospitals in California.
"The work that we're doing is going to protect people today and it's going to help people survive," she said. "I'm hoping to hold the whole Providence healthcare system accountable."
"The experience described in this lawsuit is deeply saddening and troubling," a spokesperson for Providence South Division wrote in a statement. "We are fully committed to delivering care in accordance with federal and state law, as well as our mission as a faith-based organization."
