A big news story has swept the nation once again. A mysterious pregnancy pact has been made among a couple of sophomore high school girls, who apparently:

“regularly approached her (friend) in the hall, remarking how lucky she was to have a baby” link

Let’s get a couple of things straight here.  If a bunch of girls decide to have a pregnancy pact, then I think that they really deserve what’s coming for them.  To go through all this trouble, making a pact and all, and then having it broken down and televised must really hurt them right now.  And of course, you have the usual blogging intelligence suggesting that giving birth control was a part of the problem, because it encourages teen sex.  I think that the “pregnancy pact” movement would really benefit from that, because they have been living in a cave all this time and exposing them to evil sex encouraging birth control methods would just change everything.

“All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head”

Do you know what this reminds me of? A really, really bad porn movie script that has the potential of being really, really ridiculously good.  Give me a break.  Is this that big of an issue?  Let me tell you how they decided to make that pact:

- Mmm, Cindy, oh my god, look at THIS adorable baby?

- Yes, I see it, my mom just bought one for Christmas.

- No Cindy. I am not talking about the purse.  I am talking about this actual life size baby over there.

- Oh my god.  I want one. Let’s do a pregnancy pact tonight.

- Sweet, we could use Hillary Duff’s music…somehow.

And cut!  No rocket science.  No birth control.  Just plain ignorance.  A 10 minute filler for the news, or the magazine, or whatever you want to put it.  I can sleep fine knowing that somewhere in space and time, a bunch of high school sophomore want to start of pregnancy trend.  Really.
