You can have an OB-Gyn who disagrees with abortion and does not perform the procedure.  My OB was this way in fact.  My 2nd pregnancy almost ended with a dead baby and a dead me and I was advised to under no circumstances get pregnant again. And got an IUD because I was only 30 and deemed too young to have my tubes tied.  (Spoiler alert, got pregnant a year later and it was ectopic). I asked what happened if I got pregnant when discussing the IUD and she said that she said she would not advise continuing the pregnancy, but she didn’t perform abortions, but a couple of her partners did, and she would refer me internally. Fair enough. I can live with that. There was a process in place for her to practice according to her conscious and her patients to get care. So yes, you can be an OB who has religious or moral objections to abortion and still practice and provide appropriate care.

No OB-Gyn (who isn’t a sociopath) wants to look at a patient with an ectopic pregnancy, or severe pre-eclampsia, or PROM, or a fetus with a fatal abnormality or any of the other dozen things that can go wrong and not be allowed to provide the standard of care to preserve their patient’s life and health because they could be charged with murder. Once things reach the point where the baby will die, the OB is left with vague guidelines, guessing how sick the patient they can save has to be before they can intervene. Does she have to be septic? How septic? Organs shutting down? Bleeding internally  If OBs aren’t moved by the plight of their patients (and ai think 99% are), at a minimum they are placed in a position where if they wait too long, the woman dies and they get sued for malpractice. Or they don’t wait long enough and they are charged with murder. And no one has a clue where the line is. Especially since in some pregnancies, when things go wrong, it happens fast.

Interesting side note. ER physicians are leaving red states faster than OBs. Because when pregnancies can go bad, fast. And women end up in the ER with a ruptured tube an internal hemorrhaging. It’s actually ER docs who deal with many of these case because there isn’t time to schedule an appointment with the OB.  And, BTW, these are the same ER docs who won’t be there to treat your heart attack or stroke. [/quote]
