PIP: The arguments and findings in the case of Robbie Mae Hathaway, Plaintiff, Appellant, versus Worcester City Hospital et al., (Worcester, Massachusetts), Defendants, Appellees, are presented. The case was heard January 3, 1973 by the United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit, and was decided March 22, 1973. Hathaway's action challenged the city hospital policy barring the use of facilities in connection with consensual sterilization. The appellant, Hathaway, had 12 pregnancies resulting in 8 live children and maintained that her life would be jeopardized by future pregnancies. She challenged as unconstitutional the policy of the Worcester City Hospital barring the use of its facilities in connection with any consensual sterilization. Appellee administrator specifically refused appellant's request that the hospital allow her physicians to perform a tubal ligation at the time of the delivery of her 8th child in April 1971. Despite further requests, the operation was not performed after the delivery. In the interim, the instant suit was filed in the district court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. Th district court twice dismissed the complaint. The Assistant solicitor's opinion, on which the hospital's policy is based, was that the legality of sterilization procedures was "highly doubtful" in view of the Massachusetts statutes concerning birth control assistance. The U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit, reverses and remands for entry of an order declaring the Worceste City Hospital's policy against the use of its facilities in conjunction with sterilization operations unconstitutional and enjoining the individual appellees from enforcing the policy in the future.
