but in that case one doesn't usually insist on being allowed to stay in the army

Now and again, though... J K Jerome, in WW1, did a Private Godfrey; stayed in and drove an ambulance in France.

The swapping-responsibilities solution, IMO, doesn't take account of other constraints. If some docs refuse to do abortions, others could find themselves doing little but, and may reasonably object that they aren't getting a full spectrum of experience. A mag editor I used to know had difficulty getting male reviewers to review books by women. The result wa that his female reviewers, and we weren't many, got nothing but books by women to review. Why should the blokes have had the choice?
