17 girls make a pact to get pregnant. Amazing. But what is amazing to me is not that 17 girls made a pact to become pregnant, but that everyone is amazed that 17 girls would want to get pregnant. Indeed, what a perverse society we have, where it would be no surprise to anyone if 17 girls made a pact to lose their virginity (we have even had teen movies about boys making such a pact), or 17 girls having indiscriminate sex as long as the men wear condoms, or 17 girls marching in solidarity to the abortion clinic. But 17 girls wanted to become pregnant!
There is nothing more natural than young girls wanting to become mothers. There is nothing more unnatural than girls wanting to be indiscriminately promiscuous and not wanting to become pregnant. I actually heard one normally sensible person say that we need to scare these girls out of wanting to become pregnant, and another chastising the boys, not for having sex with the girls, but for not using condoms. These are the same people who scoff at the principles of the traditional family and abstinence education. The problem is not that the girls want to become pregnant; it is that they think that it is okay to get pregnant through indiscriminant sex, including, allegedly, with a 24 year old homeless man.
Where did the girls get the idea that this was acceptable behavior? I heard it mentioned that they need more sex education. I believe they have quite a good understanding of the purpose and nature of sex. I heard someone say the school should be held accountable for not handing out condoms, as if giving condoms to girls who want to get pregnant would magically stop them. I even heard one commentator go out of his way to mention that this happened in a predominantly Catholic area, as if the Catholic Church condones this behavior. I believe the Catholic Church teaches quite strenuously that young girls should wait until they are married to engage in sex and it is routinely scoffed at for teaching such nonsense, and thwarted in its efforts at every turn. The Church does indeed defend life, but it does still teach that fornication is a grievous sin. You'll have to look elsewhere to find doctrines of free-love being taught.
No, lets think about a more simple explanation. If you encourage and exult non-traditional families, you will get more non-traditional families. When you call unions between men or unions between women, unions that can never bring forth children, marriage, when you reduce the mother's womb to a baby incubator, and the man's part in procreation to that of a turkey baster, when you exalt women's rights and diminish the role of fathers to that of sperm donors, why should anyone be surprised that young girls find it okay to come up with there own concept of family. If Heather can have two mommies, why can't 17 teenagers have babies and raise them together, with no fathers involved?
But, of course, this is not what we all had in mind when we taught our girls to be independent and sexually free. Who would have thought that they would want to get pregnant? The amazing thing is, that nature being what it is, that our nature-loving, free-love society could never understand that young girls just might aspire to be mothers, and not desire to thwart nature by the most artificial and unnatural means. Amazing!
