Many emotions came rushing to the surface when I read a particular article this morning. I was mad, as in very angry, sad as in very grieved, disappointed as in I was hoping our young people knew better than this and outraged, as in livid, because the adults knew what was going on, at least to some degree.
What did I read?
In Gloucester, MA a group of teenage girls all under the age of 16 made a pact to get pregnant. And they did.
Right now in Gloucester High School there are 17 girls pregnant on purpose. Normally the average total of pregnancies each year for this particular high school hits about four.
These girls made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. What? Where are the parents?
What about the school clinic? They must have known because, the girls, according to the principal, were repeatedly making visits to the teen clinic taking multiple pregnancy tests. He even said these girls would get visibly upset when the results came back negative. When they came up positive eventually there were high fives given out and plans for baby showers.
Hello? The clinic knew this and kept giving out these tests with no counseling? Why? Parents should be outaged! I'm outraged and I'm not even one of these parents.
One of the fathers is a 24 year old homeless man.
This just came out in Time Magazine but was first reported in the Gloucester Daily Times. According to the Principal, Joe Sullivan, he said these particular girls lacked self-esteem and have a lack of love in their lives. All the more reason for the teen clinic to take notice. Don't ya think?
All the more proof to show that the Planned Parenthood behind all this is nothing more than a business. This meant more business for the clinic. They keep track of the business very well. They know the bottom line in each of these clinics.
A Christian clinic would NEVER have closed their eyes to such a pact. Because their goal is to try to keep kids from having sex, counseling would have been foremost on their mind when that first girl came in for a test.
So now we have, just in this one high school, 17 pregnant girls with no thought of the consequences. But what should we expect? Isn't that what we're teaching them? Holloywood glorifies sex outside of marriage and we mock those who dare to admit they believe in abstinence.
So we reward stupid behavior and we punish those who do right.
So much for sex education. These girls knew right where to go when they wanted encouragement getting pregnant. The adults passing out those tests did nothing to discourage them. Perhaps they thought they'd be back later to get their abortions. Follow the money trail.
Shame on them!
