US schoolgirls 'make pact to have babies' 5 hours ago WASHINGTON (AFP) —

A group of US schoolgirls in the Massachusetts fishing town of Gloucester made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together, a report has said.

Time magazine reported Thursday that 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies "more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year."

"Nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together," Joseph Sullivan, principal of the high school in the fishing and beach town told Time.

The father of one of the babies was a 24-year-old homeless man, Sullivan told the weekly news magazine.

According to the Boston Globe newspaper, other men "involved in the pregnancies are in their mid-20s, a fact that prompted Mayor Carolyn Kirk of Gloucester to ask about statutory rape charges at last month's School Committee meeting."

None of the girls who made the alleged pregnancy pact or their parents agreed to speak with Time, which wrote that Gloucester High "has done perhaps too good a job of embracing young mothers," providing them with on-site childcare and healthcare facilities.

I'm afraid to ask - what race are those girls ?

Now how do you wake up in the morning at 17 and say to yourself: "Hmm - Whose lucky day can I make today?"

It was all very well explained on NPR today.  The last time there was a controversy like this was when half the girls at a high school in Conyers, Georgia caught STD's from having big sex orgy's in high school....

It has to do with a combination of poor economic conditions, leading to lack of career ambition, combined with lack of family support, leading to bonding with classmates that collectively agree on a decision that absolutely rocks the rest of the country in terms of 'shock value'.

Hello.  The kids of America are saying 'this isn't working for me'.

Just another vote for Barak Obama.
