Daniel Fieldstone, professor in a medical school,:
“There is virtually no chair [in departments of obstetrics and gynecology] whose career was made around contraception, sterilization, and abortion… These are really regarded as trivial issues in OB/GYN. Molecular genetics, endocrinology, steroid chemistry, cell biology on the academic scale are considered to be more important than this kind of thing.”
