The Hippocratic Oath doesn't say that, but doctors don't really swear to the Hippocratic Oath these days, so maybe they do swear that and you're accidentally right?

For obvious reasons it's kind of a bad idea to bring up the Greek Oath in the middle of an abortion debate.  Unless you actually like to derail things.

I think in general consciousness the Oath is nothing more than "Physician, do no harm". It gets referenced plenty, but kind of like the Bible: you know, it's in there, just somewhere towards the back

I'm sure a lot of people have read about the proposed New Mexico bill criminalizing abortion after rape as "tampering with evidence." But did you know that the bill's creator has come out and said this protects women from forced abortions from people just looking to hide their crimes! WHEW! Thanks for protecting women, you collossal, party-line-humping monster!

Speaking of which: a new bill introduced in the New Mexico legislature would charge rape victims who terminate their pregnancies with a felony for "tampering with evidence".

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

Okay so you know how, like, whenever President Obama says anything - like, anything - there is a vocal chunk of the right-wing that will just kneejerk say the opposite because Black President Always Wrong?  And you ever wonder if, like, he might ever make public statements just to bait those people into taking extreme and visibly insane stances in public?

Well I don't know if that's what happened.  But on Sunday, Obama gave a statement to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day.  And so, on Monday, the National Review had no choice but to defend Naziism.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Favorite comment about the Obama skeet shooting flap:  "The first time conservatives have ever doubted that a black man is holding a gun."

One of the statistics Jon Stewart likes to trot out is that Americans are more likely to CALL themselves "conservative" in a survey, but more likely to be on the liberal side of most major issues.

So is it one of those situations where people agree with a philosophy but don't want to say they're a certain thing because they've internalized the idea that the term in question is a pejorative one? (e.g. feminist)
