But "first do no harm" seems pretty direct to me. Abortions are part of what every woman is entitled to with regards to her sexual health. And every doctor should make it their business to make absolutely darn sure that every last one of their patients receives the best care possible.

That's when seen from the woman's pov. If you rather focus on the fetus (as I imagine the doctors with qualms does) an abortion is indeed a harmful procedure. (and the ruel goes against doing harm, as a first. an obligation to do good does not follow from that rule. (although I'm sure it does follow from some other part of the doctor oath)
