Typical liberal response, “Let’s provide more birth control!” These girls WANTED to get pregnant. Obviously increased birth control availability wouldn’t have prevented this!! Duh.

Status?
How is “stupidest persons in town” for a label?

High schools have clubs. How about a new one. FWPA … Future Welfare Pups of America.

yes this is tragic. Not only for the kids about to be born in unfortunate circumstances and statistically disadvantaged, but the entrapment of the males is another statistic not addressed here. Sure, the girls are going to get status. But they’ve just willfully entraped young males that may or may not have known about a so called “pact”. This is malicious contempt for other human beings.

Where are the girls parents in all of this. Why is this a school problem, and not a poor parenting one?

Fortunatley we live in a progressive society that will assist these girls in the raising of their childen. These kids can grow up knowing their mothers and caretakers love them dearly. Yes it does “Take a village”
