We don’t have any money. I’m in the tenth grade. It was my first time. And I threw it away, and I don’t want to throw my life away. It’s just…It’s just really obvious that my mom wants me to have this abortion. Because…Because I was her mistake and she has to struggle and hurt every day. And she wanted better. And I knew better. Then I was just thinking, you know, forget what she wants, like, what do I want? And maybe I could take care of this baby and maybe I would be good at it. And I could love it and I would be there for it. And then I just think about how awful it would be if I had the baby and then I spend the rest of my life resenting him or her. Do you think I’m going to hell if I have an abortion?
No, honey, I don’t.

Day 18 - Favorite mother character | Tami Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
No honey, honey, honey, that’s the thing. I got my dream. I went to a good school, I got the degree I wanted, I met your dad, and I had you. You’re my dream, baby. I got what I wanted, I got it all. And now it’s your job to dream up whatever you want, and I will support you to the ends of the earth to do that.
