From The New York Times-
To the Editor:
Re “Echoes of Anita Hill, but in a Different Era for Women” (front page, Sept. 18):
We, clergywomen in the Episcopal Church,
object to the comments by John C. Danforth, a former Republican senator
from Missouri and a priest in the Episcopal Church, regarding the
accusation of sexual assault made by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett
Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.
In your article, Mr. Danforth said he feels “terribly sorry for Kavanaugh”
and considers Dr. Blasey’s allegations against Judge Kavanaugh to be a
tragic repeat of the damage to Justice Clarence Thomas’s reputation
after Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment against Mr. Thomas.
No
one, not least a priest of the church, should publicly shame, blame or
question the motives of women who step forward to report instances of
sexual abuse; Mr. Danforth should instead be calling for an in-depth
examination of Dr. Blasey’s allegations.
