Teen `pregnancy pact' has 17 girls expecting
Girls at a Mass. high school agree to raise their babies together
BOSTON - A Massachusetts city is investigating an apparent teenage "pregnancy pact" that has at least 17 high-school girls expecting babies, four times more than last year, including many aged 16 or younger.
A high school health clinic in the city of Gloucester became suspicious after seeing a surge in girls seeking pregnancy tests. Local officials said Thursday nearly half of those who became pregnant appear to have entered into a pact to have their babies together over the year.
"Some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Gloucester High School principal Joseph Sullivan told Time magazine, which broke news of the pact on its Web site.
Sullivan was not immediately available to comment. But local officials said at least some of the men involved in the pregnancies were in their mid-20s, including one man who appeared to be homeless. Others were boys in the school.
Carolyn Kirk, mayor of the port city 30 miles northeast of Boston, said authorities are looking at whether to pursue statutory rape charges. "We're at the very early stages of wrestling with the complexities of this problem," she said.
"But we also have to think about the boys. Some of these boys could have their lives changed. They could be in serious, serious trouble even if it was consensual because of their age - not from what the city could do but from what the girls' families could do," she told Reuters.
Under Massachusetts law, it is a crime to have sex with anyone under the age of 16.

If the men didn't know the diffence (as in age), HOW can this be considered a crime?
Doesn't sound like much "seducing" going on, in the mens part.
Oh yes, we need to protect those "innocent" little girls. How sickening.
No kidding, the parents of the 17 bimbo's will go after them and the boys will likely have to pay child support for 18 years.

Yeh, the little "virgins" get a life of welfare and handouts, and the men get 20 to 30 years in jail for having sex with a tramp. All because we must protect the "virgins", oh excuse me, the children.
Seems I recall that others have previously posted that when these sort of incidencies, underaged girls getting impregnated by older men, it was just fine.
That is, so long as it is done as part of the practice of some pseudo-religion.
Yeah, but it's OK if an adult female teacher has sex with underage boys. Some of you guys are a bunch of first class hypocrites.
Oh, those poor boys! How could they have been so taken advantage of?! Having to pay child support! Those damned evil, preying females! It's criminal, I tell you, CRIMINAL!

I'm sure Andrea, that the line "heck I can't get pregnant, I am on the PILL!!" has NEVER been used, by ANY innocent gal .....
While I would agree that both parties have their duties and responsibilities, I abhor womenfolk who LIE and PURPOSELY get pregnent under a false pretense. We MEN get stuck, for the REST of our lives, because of a lie. If a woman decises she doesn't WANT a child, then she can run HER happy * to a doctor and comit murder (abortion). But we men have NO choice, absolutley NONE.
We should be allowed the SAME rights as women. The right to decide IF we want to be a father or not.
Were they (all the girls) black? POOF!
JM
I don't know if they were all white, or how many were black if any of them were, however, they are part of the American culture we have today. I just made a post earlier this evening over in politics that describes political correctness and its marxist roots and aim, which is creating a "polymorphous perversity society". To read this post which pretty much describes the moral decay we face today, go to the following link when you get the chance and read my post:
