Should we just waste potential? There's lots of doctors in the world - IF there's someone to perform abortions we can simply create an area in hospitals for that purpose with doctors who are fine with it.
Thinking about it, how likely is it that someone who dislikes/opposes abortion would work as an OB/GYN surgeon since abortion is a critical component of their skill set? It's possible to be OB/GYN in non-surgical roles therefore never having to perform abortions, so I could imagine that happening but for an anti-abortionist to be an OB/GYN surgeon?
But instead of going down that rabbit hole, let's get back to your point: no, of course I wouldn't want to limit people's opportunity to practice their skills, unnecessarily but sometimes that's what has to happen. Here's an analogy: a person is a crack shot on a shooting range but opposed to killing. Why shouldn't we let them be a sniper? Because their values would interfere with the proper execution of their duties.
Sum ergo sum
