California’s doctors are joining a legal challenge to the state’s largest owner of private hospitals over its refusal to allow women to have tubal ligations in its Catholic hospitals because of the church’s objections to sterilization. The 41,000-member California Medical Association said Wednesday that it wants to intervene in a lawsuit claiming Dignity Health’s policy violates state laws against sex discrimination and the corporate practice of medicine.
