Anna Nusslock was 15 weeks pregnant and in severe pain when she arrived at a hospital in Northern California .

She needed an emergency abortion to prevent hemorrhaging and infection.

The hospital refused to provide the care she required because doctors could detect fetal “heart tones,” she said.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against the Catholic hospital in Eureka .
