Doesn't abortion violate the Hippocratic Oath?

Question

For those of you who fear doctors I have to say you fear them for a good reason indeed. Thanks to abortion doctors don't have to abide by the Hippocratic Oath anymore. That is one more reason as to why Obama is forcing you to buy health care. People were moving away from this butchery and into alternative medicines simply because it just works better. Now watch the Government ban alternative medicine and Herbs in general.

Until the advent of mass legal abortion in the 1970s, throughout 24 centuries newly graduated doctors took the solemn Hippocratic Oath. 

 This Oath was the ethical foundation and guiding light for medical practice.

Origins
 In ancient pagan times doctors had a dual role, they could heal and also kill.

 The earliest known medical guild was established, on the island of Cos in the Aegean Sea. While other physicians were seeking magic cures, Hippocrates began teaching that every disease had only natural causes. 

 It is for this reason Hippocrates is known as the "father of medicine."

 The Greek doctor Hippocrates (460-377 BC) believed that the virtuous doctor must reject any role in killing, and be devoted to the arts of healing.

 The inspirational noble standards of the Hippocratic Oath gained universal acceptance .

Relying on wether or now not you don't forget the fetus a person. That's what the core of the abortion debate is ready. Different things that violate the hippocratic oath are dwelling wills, and ending a coma victims lifestyles to get organs.

Of course not.

Doctors aren't morons who think an embryo is a fully-developed human being with the full rights of a fully-developed human being.

Morons, of course, can't grasp crucial distinctions.

?????? LOL -- whoever told you alternative medicines are being banned was lying to you BIG TIME. Morons will really believe ANYTHING, won't you?

It depends on where the Doctors put the threshold of life. For me, until the fetus can survive on its own it fits the very definition of a parasite.
