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.

That family will be so proud when the homeless man comes around to visit his baby on holidays.

I've noticed that in my high school, there were six couples that were pregnant and all of them were interracial couples, white girls pregnant by black guys.

They have to take responsibility on their own. They have parents and family but they need to get jobs and step up to the plate. Maybe they can learn how to fish......
#4 Interracial pregnancies in high School
I think one reason there is such a fuss about the Gloucester girls is because a lot of them are pregnant from interracial relationships. It seems that interracial couples, mostly black guys with white girls, do become pregnant more often in high school than other couples, but their should be nothing odd about a 17 or 18 year old getting pregnant. I became pregnant at the end of my junior year of high school at 17. I'm now 18 and seven months pregnant (and Huge). I'm white, my boyfriend is black and very dark. In my high school interracial couples aren't even noticed. The only thing other students notice about us is that I'm very pregnant, but I'm sure that in some schools this isn't the case. Their is still a lot of racism out there.

There is something very beautiful about a very dark black guy and a pale white girl getting together.

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.
