Pregnant Lindsey Oliver, 17, who appeared on Good Morning America with her baby’s father, Andrew Psalidas, 20, said the girls became pregnant by coincidence, after which they agreed to help each other out.
The couple said they hadn’t intended to have a child and were simply unlucky. Now, they’re just trying to do the right thing. Why all the fuss?
Teenagers getting pregnant is, indeed, less interesting without a conspiracy. How the pact story got started is unclear. The principal is taking a timely vacation and has offered no further comment. Confirming the pregnancies, meanwhile, has proved problematic owing to privacy concerns.
Without the pact, we’re merely left with the crude banality of several babies about to be born to children and a few dozen dangling questions unanswered.
Here’s one: Where’s Dad? Not the “fathers” of these unfortunate pre-borns, but the fathers of these pregnant girls. Where, in other words, is the shotgun?
The conventional wisdom among the liberal elite is that without welfare and abortion, pregnant teenagers will be oppressed in a lifetime of poverty.
Do these girls look like they're going to have a better future than pregnant girls from the fifties?
The fact of life is this; women will always pay the price for illegitimate births. Call it the curse of nature.
But who bears the ultimate price by not having a father around? The bastard children from these relationships and cycle of poverty continues and continues.
After years of public policy proclaiming that men don't matter, guess what? Men in this country finally said "OK, works for us". Who's better off now?
