It’s all over the news, being reported, literally, all over the world:
- CNN: Teen girls reportedly make pregnancy pact
- Canada: Pregnancy pact alarms officials at US high school: reports
- Australia: US town alarmed by pregnancy pact news
- England: Teen ‘pregnancy pact’ has US town reeling in shame
- Scotland: US schoolgirls made pregnancy pact – The Daily Record
- Ireland: Baby pact teenagers in race to become mothers
- India: Teen ‘pregnancy pact’ shocks US city
Not only that, it’s also major blog fodder. I reported on it (Did group of teens make pact to get pregnant?) as did other bloggers such as
- SuperNanny.com (How are parents of boys supposed to protect them from girls like this?)
- Mother Talkers (Sad Story on Teen Pregnancy)
- Jezebel (Pregnancy Pacts: Better Than Suicide Ones, Still Not That Good)
- Babylune.com (The Pregnancy Pact and Update on Pregnancy Pact)
- WearyParent.com (Is Hollywood to Blame for the Pregnancy Pact?)
- SoloMother.com (Teen pregnancy pact has me throwing up this morning)
- InsideFatherhood.com (Pregnancy pact quadruples teen pregnancies at MA high school)
- Great Minds Think Like Me (Pregnancy pact.)
- A Child Chosen (Fast Times for Teen Pregnancy)
So, what do you think about the whole thing?

Pregnancy pact is a beautiful and much needed thing. The more 16 (and 17 and 18 and 19 etc) year old girls become mothers – the better. For everybody. Think about it. Way to go, girls!! Make another pact: in 2 years – one more baby!!!
Cheers and Congratulations.
