Maybe. There's loopholes for risks to safety and those loopholes depend on discretion which was seriously lacking in this case. I think it would be unlikely to be successful against a judge, but I also don't think it would be dismissed before trial and I wouldn't want to risk a jury trial if I was a hospital.
I'd say that the risks to her safety from them siccing the police on her far outweigh the risks to her safety from hemorrhaging. But hey, what do I know? I only have just as much medical training as the dipshit municipal court judge who decided to move forward with charges (which is to say, fuck-all)...
