Hospital agrees to provide emergency abortions under California's Emergency Services Law following a lawsuit.
Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka, California, has agreed to provide emergency abortions after a lawsuit from the state Attorney General claimed it denied care to a woman experiencing a miscarriage. The hospital will now comply with California's Emergency Services Law, which mandates emergency care, including abortion, when a patient's health is at serious risk. This marks the first lawsuit against a hospital under this law.
