Good. Leave your biases at home when acting in a professional capacity.

Well, at least it isn't total insanity here right now.
Doctors who refused to perform life saving surgery need to be kicked to the curb.
This should be required federally for any hospital or GP who receives Medicare funding. It's been over 3 years since the ABC reported on the extent of the problem and still nothing has been done.
When my wife and I were planning a family, we were sent to a fertility specialist at a hospital named after some saint or another. We asked all the questions we could and got lots of good advice. Then we innocently asked: what if the pregnancy is not viable? If there is a risk to my wife’s life, or we become aware that the baby would be born with a life-limiting issue?
The doctor got all clammed up and said we would have to seek advice from another hospital if that wound up being the case.
If my wife were at risk of death, or if our child would be born with their organs on the outside and half a brain with a life expectancy of a week, these self-righteous assholes would tell us to go elsewhere.
We did not return to that specialist. For all their preaching, they do not care about the lives of their patients and it shocks me that they can just decide that you don’t get to have healthcare because they think it’s a sin.
Have to appeal to religious nutters who (and by this I mean Christians, other relegions see no issue AFAIK) have lobby groups in parliament
Another example
Anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe has been banned from South Australia’s upper house for allegedly using “threatening” tactics towards politicians.
In another incident roughly a week earlier, Dr Howe sparked outrage by labelling prominent women– such as SA Greens leader Tammy Franks– as members of a “baby-killers club” on social media. Franks responded, saying the posts were intended to incite hatred.
