Prof. Carbone Quoted in New York Times on Egg Freezing

Professor June Carbone was quoted in a New York Times article entitled "Egg Freezing as a Work Benefit? Some Women See Darker Message." Now that Facebook and Apple are paying for their favored employees to freeze their eggs, the media is taking note. The article stated: "There are class and race divides in egg freezing. A planned pregnancy later in life is much more realistic for highly educated, high-income women, according to June Carbone and Naomi Cahn, law professors who write about the gender and class divide in reproduction—in other words, the kind of people who work at Facebook and Apple. Working-class women are less likely to be able to afford egg freezing; or to be employed during pregnancy; or to receive paid maternity leave."
