The “expert” analyses of why at least 17 teenies at Gloucester (MA) High got themselves with child begin: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/25279403/?GT1=43001
Obviously, they didn’t execute the project alone–one enlisted the assistance of a 24 year old homeless guy–but apparently it was of their own volition and speculation as to their reasons for effectively ending their childhood are pretty irrelevant. The school was certainly an enabler, a willing facilitator, by assuring them in advance that they could have their little cherubs taken care of via an onsite daycare program. What’s debatable is not teen hormones or the reasons for their pact. It’s really the question of how our society has devolved into one that winks at teen promiscuity. (Living in the belly of the liberal beast, aka Massachusetts, the state that keeps electing Teddy Kennedy and Barney Frank and which can't bring itself to pass a Jessica's Law to protect kids, can't be very conducive to rational behavior, either.)
The good news is that the girls at least haven't aborted the innocent products of their foolishness.
Yet.
