Boone on the Pregnancy Draft
Meghan Boone (Wake Forest University - School of Law) has posted The Pregnancy Draft (SMU Law Review, Vol. 79, 2026) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: By severely limiting or outright banning abortion, states are requiring pregnant people to perform reproductive labor in the service of the state’s own interests. Unwilling pregnant people are compelled, through the force of law, to continue their pregnancies—to perform a task that is difficult, dangerous, and fundamentally alters their life’s course.

The Supreme Court's decision in the transgender athlete cases, West Virginia v. B.P.J., is out. In a 6-3 opinion by Justice Kavanaugh, the Court upheld state laws excluding transgender girls and women from girls' and women's sports against equal protection and Title IX challenges. 1/x

I've posted a draft article on the Supreme Court's Skrmetti decision on SSRN. I argue that this harmful decision represents the worst sort of legal formalism, but does not predetermine the results in other transgender rights cases or eviscerate sex discrimination law. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Today's Skrmetti opinion is devastating to transgender children and families who live in states with cruel laws barring gender affirming care. But it is very important to recognize this opinion does not give private entities, legislatures, or the President carte blanche to discriminate! 1/x

Part of why I think @lauralanesteele.bsky.social's article, below, is so important is that I think it could actually reach and convince some of those cis-women. Laura, please write an op-ed version!

Grateful to receive the #AALS2025 Section on Family and Juvenile Law Emerging Scholars Award. The picture feels right since I wrote Time and Punishment while pregnant and submitted it during the early postpartum period.

1/X An important Equal Protection case, United States v. Skrmetti, will be heard by the SCT tomorrow (Wed. Dec. 4). For those who have not been following the case closely, a 🧵 about the case, why it is important & what to watch for. I'll do my best to explain in lay terms & stay away from legalese.
