Essay:Abortion and ethics

Abortion and ethics are unmistakable: abortion is unethical as commanded by the Hippocratic Oath of hundreds of years before Christ.
Medicine is designed and justified on the basis of saving and promoting life; abortion does the opposite. A medical professional is ethically bound to help life, and not take a life in the name of maximizing profits or advancing an anti-life agenda. Medical schools are funded with the stated purpose of helping life, not hindering it.
It is unethical for a medical professional -- or anyone else -- to take away life through abortion.
