1º76 percent of doctors believe in God and 59 percent believe in some sort of afterlife. The survey, performed by researchers at the University and published in the July issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found that 90 percent of doctors in the United States attend religious services at least occasionally, compared to 81 percent of all adults. Fifty-five percent of doctors say their religious beliefs influence how they practice medicine.
The Oath by Hippocrates, Translated by Francis
I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.

2ºApril Rose about 90% consist of oral ingestion of a small number of prescribed medications that begin the menstruation process.
Some later abortions are for conditions incompatible with life. Some are for misimplantation ( no, you cannot move a tubal pregnancy into the uterus, and continuing the pregnancy carries a high risk of death of the mother), and a good number are to complete the process of spontaneous abortion which laypeople call a miscarriage, which can also be life threatening. Nobody gets to their seventh month and suddenly remembers they didn’t want to have a baby. Nobody. That’s the stuff of lurid tabloids and anti-choice rhetoric
3ºAbortion is a private medical decision between a woman and her doctor. As someone who claims to be pro choice, you should recognize that bodily autonomy is a right that should be protected. Neither the state nor the feds should be able to stick their nose into this decision. It's why I utterly disagree with the Dobbs decision. This is an issue of privacy and liberty that the 14th amendment is designed to protect, and just because "abortion" isn't mentioned in the Constitution does not necessarily mean that it can't be protected. It falls into a subcategory of bodily autonomy, which is a core aspect of one's liberty, which IS explicitly mentioned.
4ºGary Stark lol, so your view of rights and morals is what men dead for hundreds of years decided to encode as a constitutional right.
And troglodytes wouldn’t amend the constitution to include it now because of the reason you just gave “it’s already not a right.”
Have a seat, it’s clear you don’t want a discussion, you just want to say “white rich men who had rebelled against their nation and also are rich due to slavery never made that a right, so it shouldn’t be a right!”
That’s nonsensical at best, and diabolical at worst.
Have a seat.
5ºRick Shellhammer here some facts.
Ob/gyn doctors pay the highest malpractice insurance rates. Someone graduating medical school will have a debt of approximately $700,000.00. If they have the skills to be surgeons, they will be surgeons. Otherwise, most will become dermatologists, allergists or plastic surgeons. There is very little $$$ in ob/gyn. If someone has a less than perfect baby, the ob gets sued (99%) settled out of court.
Now, for those who want universal health care a/k/a socialized medicine/free healthcare (it’s not really free, but we’ll pretend it is) in this country; it will never happen. The reason; the ABA (American Bar Association) lobby group spends millions upon millions on political campaigns. The majority of our politicians are what? Lawyers. So, their primary objective is to protect the legal industry. If lawyers can’t sue everything and everyone, they can’t make a living. Doctors in Countries that have “universal healthcare” are employees of the “state”. Suing a doctor for malpractice in those countries involves getting over an extremely high bar.
Since the majority of abortions are chemically induced and there is now a birth control pill for men, the abortion issue is a red herring and is used to fit a current narrative.
