Oaths, Then and Now

Couple weeks ago, I resigned from a certain elected political position because I would be required to take an oath to support traitors to the republic just because they have an "R" after their name. Conscience forbade it.

Today, profligate liars take the witness stand and swear an oath to tell the 'whole truth' knowing that they have no intention of doing so. Politicians do the same.

Oaths mean nothing to the amoral, seared consciences of today.

The ancient, godless pagans have every right to judge this America that screams from the core of their icy hearts and demon-infested souls for the law to give them license to abort their progeny.

The shame of this era is Mothers and Fathers who commit this abominable crime and the physicians who do their bidding.

For all the "liberty" and "rights" those outside the womb have now, at one time those inside the womb were also safe and protected.

"If you sought out a physician in 4th century B.C. Greece seeking an abortion, chances are, you would be out of luck.

Ditto for 2nd century Rome. Or 10th century France. Or just about anywhere thereafter, prior to the advent of the 20th century.

It just wasn’t done. Or at least, it wasn’t in good conscience and certainly not openly. (The same goes for seeking euthanasia, as it turns out.)

For the classically trained physician—be it in polytheistic, “pagan” times of yore or the Christian centuries that followed the fall of Rome—to provide an abortion was tantamount to a betrayal of the divine...

'I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion,' the oath reveals in no uncertain terms...

For such was the nature of the physician’s oath, dating back to its earliest inception in roughly 400 B.C.—what has become known as the Hippocratic Oath."

An abortion was "betrayal of the divine." What a profound concept. Why did those pagans get it, and the inhabitants of the "land of the free" and "home of the brave" do not?

I understand what happened.

The Hippocratic Oath was the gold standard of medicine before the Medical Industrial Complex and its tentacles of corporatized medicine and the Rocky-feller controlled cabal came to be. Now, the gold is the standard.
