OB-GYNs, as do all other physicians, vow to protect and preserve life. Abortion, Dr. Christina Francis says, violates this promise.   “Our medical ethics is based on the Hippocratic oath, which expressly forbids abortion because it recognized the fact that killing has no place in the practice of medicine,” said Francis, a board-certified OB-GYN and chairman of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.  Abortion is the “intentional ending of [a] pre-born human life,” Francis said during the organization’s virtual event Thursday night discussing what the end of Roe…
