Appleton, Susan Frelich, Presuming Women: Revisiting the Presumption of Legitimacy in the Same-Sex Couples Era. B.U.L.Rev. 227-294 (2006).
This discussion of “the presumption of legitimacy” in parenting cases reveals tensions between some feminist theorists and gay rights advocates. The author suggests an approach to parentage cases that emphasizes genetics and gestation as central to recognition of gender equality. In particular, she examines how a biological emphasis may lead to different treatment for heterosexual and lesbian couples, in opposition to gay male couples, who seek legal recognition as parents of a child.
