Do you really have no idea why some adcom members may not want to hear that? Regardless of what you believe in, a considerable number of people believe that abortion is murder, and thus, they do not view it as a crucial health service. Now, considering the liberal tendencies of academia/ med schools, I'm sure most adcom members would not mind OP exalting abortion, but to say that you are not sure why some might disagree is strange to me.Not sure why medical schools wouldn't want to hear that you want to provide a crucial health service in an underserved area, especially if you have the experiences to back it up.
I'm quite confident that all of us are aware of the viewpoint you have brought up. That is why OP made this thread.Do you really have no idea why some adcom members may not want to hear that?

Get over yourself. No one is exhalting abortion. Unless you are applying to a religious school, saying you want to help with providing safe and legal abortions is not that controversial. It is a needed service that many areas don't have adequate access to, and any reasonable person will be able to separate a difference in beliefs from a discussion on medical care.
Exalted was a poor word choice on my part. I apologize for that.
I just thought that your original post conveyed that all adcom members view abortion as a crucial health service, and that it is not a controversial issue. If an adcom member truly believes that abortion is murder, which of course some do, he/she may have trouble separating their beliefs from reviewing the application even if he/she is a 'reasonable person'. It is actually a very controversial topic that I personally would avoid writing too much about in a PS.

The way this is written conveys that abortion is any old 'crucial health service', and that you are not sure why any adcom member might be put off by it.Not sure why medical schools wouldn't want to hear that you want to provide a crucial health service in an underserved area, especially if you have the experiences to back it up.
The OP's question is about framing his volunteer activities. A debate over world view adds nothing to that topic.Yeah, you are probably right. I still disagree with the wording of your original post:

Also, I don't think I was being unprofessional nor do I think I need to get over myself. I am debating civilly.
Gotta say I'm not sure that anything in their response necessitated a warning to be professional.I'm quite confident that all of us are aware of the viewpoint you have brought up. That is why OP made this thread.
No one has exalted anything. Remember to keep it professional.
Unfortunately, the odds of derailment and transfer to the Sociopolitical Forum are a predictable outcome, though.Gotta say I'm not sure that anything in their response necessitated a warning to be professional.
Their response was reasonable and on topic
I think a general reminder is quite reasonable given the absolute likelihood that you are correct about the eventual location of this thread. Frankly, I'm shocked it's stayed so tame...Unfortunately, the odds of derailment and transfer to the Sociopolitical Forum are a predictable outcome, though.
The admonition is meant for all. I'll change that. Thanks.
