This hateful, hurtful person thinks she has an exception to her oath of office. No. If you can't abide by the oath, don't take the oath. If you swear to uphold the law and the law changes later, keep your word and uphold the law or else resign from your office. There is no "unless" clause in the oath, neither express nor implied.
Yes, that's easy to say if you haven't taken such an oath. But I have, so you can quote me.
