Prof. Goodwin Quoted in Boston Globe on Pregnant Women and 'Fetal Rights'

Professor Michele Goodwin was quoted in a Boston Globe article on pregnant women and "fetal rights." The article highlighted Goodwin's forthcoming California Law Review article, "Fetal Protection Laws: The New Constitutional Battlefront," in discussing how such laws burden pregnant women's constitutional rights in "the guise of protecting them." The article quotes Goodwin as explaining that while attention is currently focused on pregnant women's liberty interests, "We could have had perhaps at least a better, earlier conversation about these issues back in the 1980s," if more legal scholars took up these issues.
