"If our senators were listening, they'd stop #Trumpcare once & for all.

Abortion opponents were quick to point out the apparent irony.
“First, do no harm” is a dictum attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates.
Similar language appears in the Hippocratic Oath that medical students commonly take in the process of becoming doctors.
The Hippocratic Oath also contains a proscription against abortion.
“I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion,” the oath reads, according to the Encyclopædia Britannica translation.

yeah, they took that part out of the oath a LONG time ago- AND doctors are not even required to say that anymore, either. Want to know if your doctor is well read or not? Ask him if he knows what a caducues is.
"..Ask him if he knows what a caducues is.."
Will he laugh when I try to pronounce it? :-)
"Do no harm" coming from baby killers?
