You are correct. It is important to always be kind. But it is more important to be moral and kind. One is not being kind by participating in a morally repugnant act of self mutilation.
If a pharmacist doesn’t want to do things that are morally repugnant to him, (for instance, he’s a devout Catholic who does not believe in birth control), he may have chosen the wrong profession. As a nurse, I was required to provide care for Aids patients, as well as patients who were pregnant, but unmarried, etc. So, was I supposed to refuse to care for patients with who’s lifestyle I disagreed? On the other hand, I applied for a job at the health department, once, but was not hired, because the manager did not think I could, with any confidence, support a decision by a pregnant patient, if she decided to have an abortion. (It was for a program for young unwed mothers). I agreed, that I would NOT have been comfortable doing that, and wouldn’t have taken the job, if they’d offered it to me. (And it was a pud job -— 4 weeks vacation, they put $2 for every $1 you invested in retirement, no weekends, no holidays. A State job) But I couldn’t take it.

As a physician, I would not work for an organization that performs abortions. Does that mean I should have chosen another profession? Your statement makes no sense.
