Among women, the fragile bonds of political alliance

Article Abstract:

Criticism of women who complain about sexual harassment is doubly unsettling when it comes from other women. As a small group of women physicians met to form an ad hoc committee on women in medicine at a state medical convention, a second-year resident recounted her experience as a victim of sexual harassment. Another physician suggested that the resident was harassed because she allowed it to happen and that discussing the matter was a waste of time. The comments ended the discussion.

They argue that his refusal to support a ban on late-term abortions and his participation in needle-exchange programs make him unsuitable for the position.
