I remember a notable Irish case where a mother died because the doctors refused to perform an abortion. Led to a constitutional change.

Woman dies after abortion request 'refused' at Galway hospital (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-20321741.amp).

There have been cases like this in America but I’m not going to look it up. Fortunately the other commenter did. Hope this changed your opinion :)
