The physicians who have elective termination of pregnancy as a part of their practice, have, generally, resolved their convictions regarding the pro-choice/right to life issue. Those who are ambiguous or have decided that they wish to avoid those issues, don't perform the procedures.
Gynecologists, however, occasionally are forced to performed pregnancy terminations, for the health of the mother. In those cases, those with right to life issues, often weigh the needs carefully. I have worked with some gynecologist who would not perform the procedure, and ask someone else to cover the case. As a note, I have also worked with nurses in the OR and L&D areas who would choose not to work on any termination of pregnancy cases. In every case, the hospital had no issue with providing coverage for the time required for the procedure.
It is important for us all to have our own personal convictions about the right to life, or choice. It is important, that as health care professionals, we be able to see the patient's needs first, and see that they get assistance with their issues, even if we choose not to take part in the action. Leaving our patients without options for adequate health care, is inappropriate practice, regardless of our personal convictions.

Some do, some don't. Most of those with moral objections just stay way from the whole field.
