CMV: I think that surgical abortions should be banned, and that the abortion pill should be the only legal abortion.

What you are discussing is actually a violation of the Hippocratic oath

And? It's a series of thoughts by Hippocrates 2500 years ago. It's not used word for word and is simply set up as an initial guideline. The text requires you to swear to Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses. Also "to hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents"... " when [my teacher] is in need of money to share mine with him;" It's ludicrous for you to site that oath as something that's we need to strictly adhere to. Literally every single physician is in violation of the oath.

You are also arguing for inaction vs action here.

I don't see a distinction between the too. By not laying down on the operating table you are actively deciding not to give up your organs. The US Supreme court has decided (at least in the US) Presidential inaction is the same as action, adding a legal lens to the conversation.
