Elective abortions generally aren't mostly performed in hospitals anyway, but in separate clinics, so what kind of hospital is nearby is largely irrelevant (it might have an indirect relationship in states that have adopted rules requiring abortion providers to be doctors with admitting privilegs in a nearby hospital, but those rules have, IIRC, only been proposed in places where none of the elective abortion providers meet that description in the first place, and are intended as a backdoor prohibition on abortion.)
While performed at clinics, local hospitals can have a disproportionate impact on access to abortion - for example, by influencing whether or not doctors in the area have access to training in the procedure, whether or not they provide referrals, and often are the places where poor and minority patients end up seeking care.
