All the cool kids are doing it

I was particularly disturbed by the story last week about the purported "pregnancy pact" at the high school in Gloucester, MA. Of the 600 or so girls at the school, 17 are currently pregnant, and there were many others who, according to the principal, were visibly upset when they found out they weren't pregnant.

God only knows what has possessed these girls into thinking that getting pregnant while in high school is the hip thing to do. Some think they were influenced by the movie Juno. Others blame Jamie Lynn Spears. I've also heard it reported that girls were jealous of others at the school who've had babies and received a lot of attention as a result.

Girls, whatever the reason, this nonsense needs to stop. Please allow me to give a bit of advice straight out of Democrat talking points. Are you feeling alone? Unpopular? Bored? Well, you can't drill your way out of the problem!
