Jeff told me about this ...

"Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High" - Time, 6/18/08.

He - or the media - tried to turn it into a Catholic birth control thing, but it isn't that: the girls want to get pregnant.

Since they're stopping after one child and they have the support systems, even to finish school, they are simply trying to make the best of their limited opportunities.

I wouldn't call this a social tragedy.

The pervasive anti-child attitude our society has cultivated for the past twenty years is the greater shame. The tide is turning, 'though in less than ideal ways, i.e., for selfish reasons, by immoral means.
