Teen ‘pregnancy pact’ has 17 girls expecting
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25272678/

Of particular note is this gem from the end of the article:
"In Gloucester, the 1,200-student school administered 150 pregnancy tests to students in the past academic year. The school forbids the distribution of condoms and other contraception without parental consent - a rule that prompted the school's doctor and nurse to resign in protest in May.

"But even if we had contraceptives, that pact shows that if they wanted to get pregnant, they will get pregnant. Whether we distribute contraceptives is irrelevant," said Verga."

Bulletproof logic.
