In Defense Of Surrogacy Agreements: A Modern Contract Law Perceptive, Yehezkel Margalit
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
The American public’s attention was first exposed to the practice of surrogacy in 1988 with the drama and verdict of the Baby M case. Over the last twenty-five years, the practice of surrogacy has slowly become increasingly socially accepted, and even welcomed. This evolution serves to emphasize the bizarre judicial and legislative silence regarding surrogacy that exists today in the vast majority of U.S. jurisdictions. In this Article, I describe and trace the dramatic revolution that took place during the recent decades, as the surrogacy practice has drastically changed from one viewed as problematic and rejected to a socially widespread …

Expanding Women’S Healthcare Access In The United States: The Patchwork “Universalism” Of The Affordable Care Act, Randy Albelda, Diana Salas Coronado
Center for Social Policy Publications
This paper explores the promise of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called “Obamacare” (referred to here as the ACA), with attention to the ways gender matter by tracing the development and implementation of key US social protection systems, an examination of the current health system with particular attention to women’s coverage, and the potential impacts of the ACA, including how it conforms to international human rights norms for health care. The ACA promises to vastly improve the key dimensions of health coverage in the US, but it conforms with other US social policy by relying on market-based …

For A Feminist Considering Surrogacy, Is Compensation Really The Key Question?, Julie Shapiro
Faculty Articles
Feminists have long been engaged in the debates over surrogacy. During the past thirty years, thousands of women throughout the world have served as surrogate mothers. The experience of these women has been studied by academics in law and in the social sciences. It is apparent that if properly conducted, surrogacy can be a rewarding experience for women and hence should not be objectionable to feminists. Improperly conducted, however, surrogacy can be a form of exploitation. Compensation is not the distinguishing factor. In this essay I offer two changes to law that would improve the surrogate's experience of surrogacy. First, …

Safety V. Surgery: Sex Reassignment Surgery And The Housing Of Transgender Inmates, Tammi S. Etheridge
Scholarly Articles
Rather than continue to ignore the discrepancy between allowing transgender prisoners access to hormone therapy and sexual reassignment surgery while permitting prison administrators to decide whether there is adequate housing to warrant such treatment, courts should enforce the use of such medically necessary treatments when prescribed by a doctor. Although prisons may be justified in their concerns of safety, it is time to amend the structure of the prison industrial complex so that all prisoners are safe and free from abuse. Moving forward, prisons might consider classifying and housing each prisoner on a case-by case basis or constructing non-punitive housing …

Contraceptive Sabotage, Leah A. Plunkett
Law Faculty Scholarship
This Article responds to the alarm recently sounded by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists over “birth control sabotage”—the “active interference [by one partner] with [the other] partner’s contraceptive methods in an attempt to promote pregnancy.” Currently, sabotage is not a crime, and existing categories of criminal offenses fail to capture the essence of the injury it does to victims. This Article argues that sabotage should be a separate crime—but only when perpetrated against those partners who can and do get pregnant as a result of having sabotaged sex. Using the principle of self-possession—understood as a person’s basic right …
