A Pact to have Babies? What are they thinking?

Or are they thinking at all?? Doesn't sound like it to me. Today at CNN, I watched a video about 17 teenage pregnancies at Gloucester (Ma.) High School which has also been written up in Time magazine. I went to the Boston Globe to follow up the story, because I just don't get it.

The facts, 17 girls were pregnant this past year at the high school, the school board and the health clinic in the high school are debating whether to permit contraceptives to be given out. The story in the paper discusses the controversy of providing birth control, HELLO people, these girls WANTED to get pregnant. Wouldn't that be the problem in all of this? Whether or not a school provides contraception is a little out of place here, the problem goes beyond preventing pregnancy but the why, that these girls think that this is a good thing to do.

In my opinion, there's going to be 17 very needy children being raised by 17 very irresponsible parents. What really gets me upset, is that in the CNN video, which I am assuming was taken in Gloucester, the babies are paraded around town in high end carriages. I shudder to think of the financial burdens these mothers are going to have. That free daycare that they are getting in high school is not going to be free once they graduate. Hope that baby is still cute and wanted in six years when they are having their meltdowns in the mall. Made me think of the video below.

Viva what? Even the dog is smiling....

Am I the only one to think that this commercial is just a little too creepy? If these guys are so hot to trot, how come they are just singing with a bunch of other guys with goofy smiles? And is Erectile Dysfunction a huge medical problem....what is up with all the advertising.
Just my perverted thoughts for a Tuesday
