In the immortal words of gumshoe, Lieutenant Columbo, there's just one more thing to note about the Gloucester High School pregnancy unpact.  In the reams of words written about the 17 young women, in my view the very best comes from an editorial in the Norton Mirror in  MA.  An excerpt:

"While the armies of the Left and Right have spent 40 years fighting over sex---mostly through proxy battles on issues like sex education, parental notification and contraception---the culture forgot to teach children some fundamental things about parenthood...The real story at Gloucester High---and at high schools across the nation---isn't that kids have casual, uninformed attitudes toward sex.  It's that they know and care too little about what it takes to raise healthy children."
