There is a stark difference between a therapeutic and an elective abortion. I have never met a physician who would refuse to do a therapeutic abortion when the life of the mother is at risk.
There are facilities where this has been a problem, and there may have been a rare and isolated case involving a physician (I honestly don't know). But, yes, I would think that would be unethical at the very least, and more likely gross malpractice.
