Not that I work in the medical field, I maintain a certain right to choose within my line of work. If a "customer" gets out of line, curses, or is abusive in anyway it's my decision on whether or not to walk away from that situation. I get to use my own better judgement. This seems like the same thing in my book.

I agree a doctor should not be compelled to perform an abortion ande there are many laws already stating that. So why is there a need for this new rule. Well, giving the option re abortions was not enough for the far religious right. They want their control go way beyond that. Moreover, imagine for a moment if you lived in a small town in a mostly rural state and were poor. You go to the doctor to get some procedure done (again, the new rule is limitless) and the one doctor in the town says no based on a moral objection and so do the doctors in the closest towns. The only way to get the medical attention you want is to go out of state and at a cost you cannot afford. What do you do then?
Again, this is not a small issue limited to abortion.
Finally, let's say you live in a state full of wiccans. Would you want their religious tenets controlling your medical care? Of course you wouldn't.
In the end, this is just another tactic by the far religious right to infiltrate and then dominate American life all while taking away autonomy.
