Doesn't Texas bill 25 ask doctors to break their Hippocratic Oath?

Asked by Pandora (32211points) March 1st, 2017

I just read about a law in Texas that will allow doctors to lie to their patients about their fetus if it has some major disabilities and they are concerned that the patient will abort the fetus. I was stunned to read about this. Doctors who would have the legal right to lie to their patients because of what they perceive the patient would do. To go months thinking you are going to have a normal baby and prepare and pay for a doctor to lie to your face is a disgusting thing to do to anyone. Article
This is definitely government going to far in my opinion.

Should the doctors or government be required to take care of this child for all of it’s life if it survives?
