California has sued a Humboldt County hospital after a patient said she was denied an emergency abortion earlier this year even as she feared for her life because of miscarriage risks.

It is damning that here in California, where abortion care is a constitutional right, we have a hospital implementing a policy that’s reminiscent of heartbeat laws in extremist red states,” Attorney General Rob Bonta said.

California's attorney general on Monday sued a Catholic hospital accused of refusing to provide an emergency abortion in February to a woman whose water broke prematurely, putting her at risk of potentially life-threatening infection and hemorrhage.

California residents near a wildfire that is largely contained were ordered to evacuate after the blaze in San Bernardino County flared up. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department told residents of Seven Oaks to leave the community ahead of a surge in the Line Fire on Sunday afternoon.

Flare-ups in the San Bernardino National Forest have prompted officials to issue a new evacuation order as firefighters continue battling against the Line Fire.
