Gloucester High School is about to experience a baby boom as 17 teen girls admit entering pregnancy pact to raise their children together. Seventeen teen girls, none over the age 16, are preparing to spend their Summer vacation in maternity bathing suits. However, the reason for the pregnancies may surprise you.
School officials have learned that at least half of the pregnant teen girls entered into a pregnancy pact, and that some of the "fathers" were in their 20's, including a 24 year old homeless man:

The issue has gotten the wide media attention as the Time magazine writing about it as the Pregnancy Pact attracts national coverage.
So how have some liberals, along with a complacent media, chosen to address this story. How else... by demanding more funds for birth control and sex education:
Boston Globe "Forgot" To Mention The Pact while covering the story of pregnancy pact that the Gloucester teen girls admit entering into. Notice that Kathy McCabe, the Boston Globe reporter, made no mention of the pregnancy pact... covenant.
The reality is society has created a generation of callous, spoiled people, which is so clearly demonstrated with this teen girl pregnancy pact. No amount of sex education or birth control would have prevented at least 9 of these pregnancies, but the first response from the Left is more money, more education, more birth control!
How about more discipline, a stronger sense of responsibility, and no public funds used to support any of the girls involved in such pregnancy pacts. They made their "choice," and they can live with the consequences.
A real compassionate comment...
I just love it when I read an article like this. It shows the true "Christian compassion" of the anti-choice crowd with the "..no public funds used to support any of the girls involved in such pregnancy pacts. They made their "choice" and they can live with the consequences." statement.
Comprehensive sex education, which includes discussions about sexuality AND the impact of pregnancies on teenagers and their future prospects for a good life, might have had an impact, although is such an unusual case involving a fairly close community.
