Romance and Reproductive Choice

Not Another Family Wedding by Jackie Lau

The Ultimate Pi Day Party by Jackie Lau

June 1, 2019 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Around the time the Alabama Anti-Abortion bill passed, there was a conversation on twitter about romances that dealt with abortion in a positive/normalizing manner. You can find many of the tweets with #RomanceforRoe. It’s most often been treated as a moral issue instead of a healthcare issue, and that should go out the door with slut shaming. A few readers and authors chimed in with books that addressed abortion as a healthcare choice that didn’t ruin the main character’s life. Canadian author Jackie Lau pointed […]

Ice Cream Lover by Jackie Lau

Her grandmother and mother are determined to find her a boyfriend. Alex Kwong is grieving the loss […]
