This is such a cop out. Lawyers who take bad clients need to own. No, you are not required (unless appointed by a court) to take every client. Don't blame immoral arguments on some ethical requirement. If you choose to take a case, it is on you.

Apparently we lawyers are not allowed to take clients and/or make arguments that some people think are “immoral.” We are ethically obligated to do what’s in the best interest of our clients. You don’t have to like it or agree with it.
