I mean they didn’t. “Do your job or do something else” and “I’m just following orders” are worlds apart.

One is expressing the opinion that if a person freely chooses a profession but then refuses to practice it for asinine reasons they should choose a different profession because they are incapable of doing the job correctly.

The other is an excuse Nazi’s used to justify the shit they did.

Not the same.

The real problem here is that allowing medical professionals to pick and choose like you describe based on their personal values will lead to people dying. That’s the entire reason for the Hippocratic oath, to provide an unbiased framework of ethics under which physicians practice.

Hypothetically, say you’re straight, have a one night stand with your preferred gender and get AIDS. You feel sick go to a doctor and they refuse to treat you because AIDS is the “gay” disease and since you have AIDS, you must be gay and this Doctor doesn’t “agree with that lifestyle.” So you ask for one who does, turns out you’re in a Catholic hospital and no one “agrees with that lifestyle” here. Sorry, you’re fucked and maybe have to drive a few hours for treatment now because of some judgmental assholes. Or you die from AIDS because you live in America, in a red state, where you have no other options.

That phrase btw? The one about lifestyles? That’s a fucking dog whistle.

No argument here on that point.

It ain’t a rule it’s a mental health disease.

I don’t think they can TBH. They’ve had a couple of shit years lately, something like a ~25% year-to-year decline in profit for the last two/three years? I think this decree is panicked and a result of that.

A John is also the customer of a prostitute. (at least in the USA)

I understand this sentiment but, as an American, if you’ve been alive for 3 decades plus, you’ve witnessed immense stupidity on behalf of America and Americans, electing Trump again was just the logical conclusion.
