Hello: I was listening to an old shiur by Rav Schachter online (if you want to find it, it’s Inyonei Chullin #22 on Yutorah) and he told a story. A doctor asked R’ Shlomo Zalman if an abortion was Assur in a certain very tough situation. R’ Shlomo Zalman kept saying no and the doctor kept telling him that this is a tremendous Sha’as Hadchak and kept bugging him. Eventually, after Rav Shlomo Zalman said no many times he asked R’ Shlomo Zalman to think about it and get back to him the next day. The next day R’ Shlomo Zalman said he still thinks it’s Assur but there is a posek in Yerushalayim (R’ Waldenberg) who is Mattir and that the doctor should ask him.
