So... no pact?

The Mayor of Gloucester, Mass. has come out and said that there's no proof that there was a pregnancy pact on the part of the 17 girls at Gloucester High School that got pregnant this year. Moreover, she's said the Principal at the high school that made the claim just has a faulty memory or something.

Hmmm, well either way, you have to ask some hard questions of yourselves if you live in Gloucester. I mean, 17 girls in one year is not at all a small number and you'd probably want to take steps to lower that number. Education on birth control, for instance? Active parenting, perhaps? It's probably easy for people (like me) to cherry-pick options, but at the end of the day something should be done.

**UPDATE: Found this article from Pajamas Media as well. Kinda interesting- so read, discuss, digest, etc.
