Feministing is rooting for Becky to get an abortion. Why, because 15 year old Becky wants to get out of small town Dillon and she is being raised by a single mother and does not want to relive her mother's life.
Hmmmm Becky's baby gets no life and Becky just elected to become the mother of a baby that is now dead by her own choice. May sound harsh but true. Throughout all this was the adoption word even muttered. There was an option that could allow Becky to return to her giggly carefree life that ended in her pregnancy and allow the child to live.
New York Times writes an opinion piece on it and of course does not bring up adoption but focuses on what they call the anti choice nature of most movies but one line that jumps out is
"Friday Night Lights” chose to maintain its commitment, above all, to the world it renders — and to its quasi-Marxist understanding that economics dictate everything."So true.......but after all it is all about me....as in going through a selfish phase.
This made me think of a young girl age 18 who was raised by a single mother. She was pregnant and trying to decide what to do. She said she was sad because she will never know what her child looked like and had to live with that. A child was an 18 year burden she said and she choose abortion because that is what her mom and much older boyfriend wanted. The rest I will have to learn to live with, she said.
Adoption is an option that all can live with...but going through a selfish stage...
