The Hippocratic Oath states “I will not give a woman a pessary to cause abortion.” however, one abortionist says:
“I get absolutely no joy whatsoever doing any abortion, but we have a duty to an individual. The Catholic physician is aborting the Hippocratic Oath more than I am in not giving a woman the choice.”
