Professor Courtney Cahill’s article, The New Maternity, 133 Harvard Law review 2221 (2020), argues that constitutional maternity warrants reform and argues that one promising pathway of reform is family law’s less regressive and more multidimensional vision of motherhood. Cahill argues that progressive advances surrounding the new maternity ought to unsettle regressive tendencies surrounding constitutional maternity and imagines what the new maternity emerging from family law would mean for constitutional sex equality law.
