Concerning abortion the oath states: ´I will give no deadly medicine to
any one if asked nor suggest any such counsel, and in like manner I will
not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.¡

That is why many medical schools administer the "Oath of Maimonides"
instead, as many people object to the prohibitions against abortion and
euthanasia.
