The Court's decision to overturn Roe endangers women everywhere, by taking away their right to make their own health care choices. This court isn't conservative – it's partisan, with a socially backward agenda. They can't be trusted to protect our rights, so the Congress must.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

The First Thing About You is my debut novel. I wanted to write a very classic teen rom-com but also portray disability authentically. Harris is a “normal” teen and wants to experience all of that. It just so happens he's also in a wheelchair.
