Getting Emergency Abortion Care When a Catholic Hospital Is the Only Option with Anna Nusslock

from Body & State · host Sarah Varney

In 2024, California chiropractor Anna Nusslock was pregnant with twins. But 15 weeks into her pregnancy, she found out the twins would not survive. And Anna was told she could not get an abortion, because she was being cared for at a Catholic hospital. Sarah sat down with Anna at her home in rural Eureka, California to talk about her fight to access abortion care in a state that right is protected, but in an area where that kind of care is not always easy.
