This principles are NOT religious, they are principles written in the doctor's ethics code, any doctor that doesn't follow them is not a doctor. The right to live is placed at 1st. A doctor may or may not consider a fetus a life/person, this is a personal choice and no one should be allowed to interfere with it. It isn't really a matter of religious faith, most people I know against abortion are secularists or atheists, it's more like a matter of ethics or conviction.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
