That's pretty much the exception in (at least) 46 states it appears. Although an EMT got fired for refusing to transport a woman for an abortion (he sued of course) The NY nurses association says that nurses have the right to refuse care on moral grounds except in the case of an emergency. NY law says that they can refuse with no emergency exception.

I couldn't find anything about emergency care + abortion that was really asking what you're looking for. Unless someone in medical care knows here. (I did find out how Obama's going to force every doctor in America to perform abortions. Probably standing over them with a gun if they don't do it. )
