- Lifetime's 2010 movie
"The Pregnancy Pact" is a modern made-for-TV
classic depicting the real-life media frenzy that gave
birth to the titular phrase just two years prior when a
group of Massachusetts teenagers reported to have secretly planned their simultaneous pregnancies, which sparked nationwide
concerns over pop culture's supposed glamorization of
teen pregnancy and motherhood. It seems like inadequate sex education was the more likely culprit, but frankly, it's just refreshing to look
back on a time when society's illogical fear mongering
was based on TV shows rather than transphobia. And sure enough, it turns out the kids watching Gossip Girl
actually were more likely to be exposed to a sex offender than the kids attending
a family drag show. Oh, this country is truly
entering its dark age and, like the lost city of Atlantis, slowly sinking into the sea. By the way, can't wait
to see how conservatives blame the queers for climate change, once they can no longer deny
that it's happening, that is. But just like the issue
of transgender people using public restrooms, the pregnancy pact was actually non-existent. However, thanks to the rise
of the 24-hour news cycle, Lifetime was able to create its most unintentionally satirical look inside the minds of teenage girls, who apparently see the human uterus as the ultimate tool of deception and social status, supported
by sensational headlines, false statistics, and
out of control parties in broad daylight where the acting is as terrible as the cups are empty. So pour yourself a drink and poke holes in all of your condoms
because you're about to get knocked up by
the made-for-TV madness of the late 2000s and another
abstinence-only installment of "Clip Breakdown." (funky electronic music)
(chill vocalizing) Hello television viewers. My name is Nick. Thank you so much for joining
me once again on my channel for another installment
of "Clip Breakdown." This is the playlist where we dive in to our favorite movies, TV movies, and other such content here are on the web and we break it apart like the truth when it's being reported
on by a non-journalist who thinks they're a journalist so that we can look at
each individual clip and decide if there's actually a pact saying we have to all give
birth in the same trimester or if we were just bored and wanted to get freaky with each other. I could've done that
different when I said it, but I'll try and make up for it. But first, make sure you give
this video a big thumbs up if you wanna see even more Lifetime Clip Breakdowns like this. It's been a moment since
we've done Lifetime here on the main channel. We watch them often on Patreon. But most importantly, if
you're new to my channel, I would love to have you
click that subscribe button right over here, that way you never miss new videos from me, two every week. Why aren't you turning on notifications and being the first one to watch out of all of your friend group who are pressuring you to have babies? Now, I remember the pregnancy pact dominating the headlines
when I was a junior, senior in high school and this news story took place in Gloucester, Massachusetts, which was not far from where I grew up, so I was very surprised
after all of that nationwide media coverage to look
back and realize, oh, turns out there was
never any pregnancy pact. In reality, the actual teenagers
involved with this story had just privately
promised to help each other raise their babies after finding out that they happened to become
pregnant at the same time. But as this movie does
accurately touch upon, the real issue that got less attention is how the spike in
pregnancies of this area was due mainly to conservative curriculum around sexual health and wellness. Abstinence-only sex education, as we know, does not really work in
preventing pregnancies because kids can figure out
how to have sex very easily. Figuring out how to do
it safely and healthfully and knowing when you're
ready and the consequences that may arise is something that it's really good to teach
from a place of non-judgment, but that's not what we get here. We'll definitely come
back to that, but first, I wanna take a minute to let
you know about the sponsor of today's video, MD Hair,
who I also need to thank for getting me started on my journey to healthier, more
beautiful, and thicker hair. I come from a hair care
background and I am very impressed with the way that MD Hair approaches the hair regrowth science with
their custom regrowth kit, a combination of products
such as their serum, shampoo, conditioner, and supplements that support healthy
hair growth from within. The most unique part about MD Hair is the way they customize each
treatment kit to your needs. They have technology
that analyzes the results of a quiz you can use on their website, as well as an actual photo of your scalp. I was so excited to have
my scalp photo analyzed by their artificial intelligence and know that the
products being sent to me were designed specifically
to help my unique case, because although hair
loss is incredibly common, it's far different for each individual. For example, someone with
genetic, age-related hair loss is going to receive a different supplement than a 30-year-old new parent
with postpartum hair loss. Somebody with a sensitive
scalp needs a serum that helps treat and protect
that area of the body. I feel so good knowing that
I'm taking a supplement that's helping support my hair
growth journey from within, but what I love most is having a serum that instantly makes my hair feel better and stronger and smoother while also helping my scalp feel more comfortable. I don't mind building a
routine that's going to show me my best results over
time, but I wanna feel like I'm doing something
proactive every day, which is exactly how I
feel when I am applying my MD customized hair care serum and taking my customized hair
care wellness supplement, which I know will support
the overall bodily systems that contribute to having
the best hair on the block. Right away, I can tell my hair
is more pleasant to the touch and I see more volume in the mirror, plus I know that within
two to four months, I'll be seeing the full results
of my new hair care routine. These products contain over
100 natural ingredients across the board. Mother Nature knows what my head needs. Customize your hair regrowth
treatment with MD Hair. Use my promo code NICK70
to get your first month of customized products at 70% off. Thank you so much to MD Hair
for getting me on my way to a thicker,
healthier-looking head of hair and for sponsoring today's video. Just a disclaimer, Lifetime makes it clear at the beginning that although
they use actual news footage in this movie and it's
set against a real set of news reports in 2008,
some of the locations and public figures are real, but any other character similarities
are purely coincidental. I mean, that's a lot
of stuff that you admit to not being coincidental,
but I get what they're saying. The teenagers themselves are just made up and if one of the teenagers
happened to have red hair and her name was Sara,
like nine out of 12 people in all of Massachusetts,
then don't come for me. That's what Lifetime is saying. The movie is inspired by a true story. Just look. - It's a shocking story
about sex and status. - Should the school system,
the media, or society shoulder any of the
responsibility for what happened? - Okay, one thing we're not
gonna do is blame society. Society has always had perfectly
reasonable expectations for women, as long as they
are smart, but not man smart, nurturing, but not clingy,
hypersexual, but not slutty. oh, and they better figure
all of that out by age 13, which is when grown men would like to start objectifying
them at family barbecues. When teen girls are acting
out, we don't blame society. We blame the teen girls themselves for having menstrual cycles, I suppose. Your fault. P.S., you can also always tell you're watching a Lifetime
movie from the new millennium because of this cheap
(beep) on-screen text with Adobe stock font that
never feels quite right for the subject matter. The title card will be
in 14-point Marker Felt and it reads, "The life and
death of Harriet Tubman." I'm like, okay, I guess they wanted it to look like this was the beginning of a really serious episode of Rugrats. Welcome, anyway, to
Gloucester, Massachusetts, a small fishing community. I'm just guessing fishing. There's a bridge connecting it
to the rest of Massachusetts and it's a small conservative town where, according to
these establishing shots, the kids are just in the
hallway canoodling full-time. That's their major, minor,
and extracurricular business. We jump in and meet one
of our main characters, Sara's, friends, a member
of the pregnancy group. I don't know any of these girls' names. There's a lot of nameless
characters in this, like they have names, but
they're never mentioned enough to become established. None of them have distinct personalities and a lot of them, when you look on IMDB, don't even have photos uploaded, so it's like, I'm hopeless. But the character
theirself is quite hopeful, as you'll see here. - So you're just gonna pee
on the tip here, right? Or you can use the plastic
cup that's in the bathroom and you can just stick
the tip inside, okay? - She just went into the bathroom. - Why is that part
exciting to you, Barnessa? Did you think she was gonna
on that pregnancy stick out in the middle of the
most generously-windowed, least private-looking,
and most open blinds nurse's office in all of
America's school system? That would be gross. The hormones from her pregnancy pee could splatter on that eyesight exam chart and the school staff counts on that to separate the kids who need eyeglasses from the kids with learning disabilities. I heard Sara K from English class has both and that's
why we post anitsemitic bumper stickers on her
Facebook wall. (laughs) Being a teenager is (beep) Out comes Barnessa, I
guess we're calling her, with her test, which apparently she needs adult help to read. (chill music) - You're not pregnant. - Oh, okay. - I agree, nurse half ponytail. That reaction was unexpected,
but I also didn't think you were gonna grab both
ends of that pee-soaked home pregnancy test with your bare hands and then set it down on
top of the filing cabinet where we usually leave the
asthma inhaler permission slips. She's like, "Hm, maybe
she's just disappointed because I can't lock
this in my little girl pregnant pee drawer. The kids love it when I do that." Like I'm sorry, the day just started but I can already tell that
this school is (beep) weird, even by 2010s Massachusetts standards where the teenagers would
dress like 17th century puritanical settlers who
somehow won a shopping spree at American Eagle. There are so many long
sleeves, peasant blouses, and layered tank tops in this movie. It's like, we get it,
Delia's was in at the time, but you know that the real girls, the real girls who were sexually active were wearing the same
corduroy blazer most days. I'm talking about me now. Concerned about this pregnancy test that she just administered, the nurse goes and tells the principal
and the vice-principal, principal bald eagle and
then the vice principal is John, I think, but
(beep) those teachers. We gotta talk to the students. We meet our main character,
Sara, who has this pretty red hair always in a
perfectly-styled different look. She's excited to go spend some alone time with her boyfriend, Jesse,
even though he's like, "You're gonna get me in trouble." But first she drops by
and says hi to her dad, who I guess works on a fishing boat. That's why I thought
they had fishing boats, they show fishing boats. But then later he's like, I
was waiting all day in line waiting for an unemployment office job. I think it's referring
to the 2008 recession, that he's unemployed,
but maybe he just takes day labor on a boat, loading
lobsters up, lobster. Then they go inside the
diner that the family owns and say hi to Sara's
mom, who is very proper. She does remind me of a lot of
wealthier Massachusetts moms from a conservative background. Her name is something something, Lorraine. Oh, and the family's last name is Dougan. I'm like, okay, Sara Dougan. Sorry about your unplanned
pregnancy, Dougans. but enough of this coastal
Massachusetts town. We have a Massachusetts transplant who is the seeker of justice and truth, played by Thora Birch,
who you might remember from a lot of popular childhood roles such as "American Beauty" or my favorite to talk about, "Hocus
Pocus," which we reviewed here on this channel, but here she is, talking news to an HD camcorder. - We have two big stories
in the news today. A woman running for president
just picked up a big state in the primary and the
other is a 16-year-old girl, pregnant, shopping for a crib. Now I know what life I'd want. - Ugh, I hate that those are
my only two life choices. I want it to be one of those
trade show bikini models who gets to sit on the
front of a speedboat! Then again, those convention centers get really chilly and my
nipples are very reactive. Ooh, can I at least
choose the life of a woman who isn't the target of online
abuse and death threats? Google search returned no results. Fine, I guess I choose
to just die in utero. I don't need all this drama. Sorry ladies, I'm with you in spirit. I guess it's just like that famous quote. You either get pregnant early
enough to be a 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears or you wait long enough to become the target of ageist
sexism like Hillary Clinton. I know it sounded cool
in the Batman movie, but that version of the
quote was reserved for men and I guess bat men,
men who dress like bats. Seems a little lopsided in
terms of what's considered toxic and crazy, but God
bless America, I guess. The movie makes a couple direct references to Jamie Lynn Spears, who really shook the pop culture news sphere at the time when she became pregnant at age 16, leading to the cancellation
of her hit Nickelodeon show, "Zoe 101," but a lot of
other examples were cited as potential sources of this
spike in teenage pregnancies. The MTV show "Teen Mom," "Secret Life of the American Teenager,"
but if that pregnancy spike is happening in an area where the school refuses to offer contraception
or even educate people about birth control, you're making a bit of a mental leap by blaming the shows. It's like when Columbine was blamed on video games and death metal. Okay, or the fact that my
dad has an unlocked gun safe and I don't know what Prozac is. Not me specifically. Please, I know what Prozac is. It's up in these guts. Back to you, Thora Birch,
who, as a journalist, no, video blogger, is named Sidney Bloom, which I think is just lovely. - But who is your role model? That's the question of
the day at TeenUp.net. Post a comment and I'll
be back at you tomorrow. - I don't wanna leave a comment. I already told you, my
role model is any model who's wearing a bikini and
sitting on the front of a boat with a captain's hat, and
once I can find pasties thick enough to safeguard
my illegal woman nipples, I'm gonna get there. All three of us are gonna
get there, all three of us. Also, was it just me or
was this online news show 15 seconds long? Maybe Sidney was ahead of her time. If you turn that camera sideways, you just made a perfectly under-researched and covertly sexist TikTok. She's gonna do well in about
20 years, I can tell, Sidney. So yeah, the publication is TeenUp.net, which she runs in New York
with this friend of hers wearing that hat and she's like, "Look it. There have been 10 pregnancies in my town in the last year, as opposed to four the previous school year." She just is all of a sudden like, "I'm gonna go to Gloucester
and get some news on all of this news,"
even though you could just get your news from the
news, since they have probably better sources, but whatever. She's the only one who
thinks to look into this, even though the newspapers
already wrote about it. The moms are gossiping at the diner about the kids who are getting pregnant, but of course, Sara's mom is like, "That's not our business. We're just here to help the
kids and not judge them." Sara's like, "Well, I'm going
to hang out at Jesse's house," that's her boyfriend, and
the mom friend is like, "Look who's getting in
line to be pregnant next." Don't say that about my daughter ever. Anyway, the next day, that girl who had the negative pregnancy
test in the opening scene is sitting with the school
nurse who is like, ya pregnant, and the girl is visibly excited
when she leaves the room. I'm confused, like did she
just go to the nurse's office for a pregnancy test every
day until it tested positive? I don't understand what
the timeline was there, or wouldn't the nurse be like,
why do you keep doing this? Can you come back weekly rather? You're not gonna notice for
three months or something. But the girls are psyched
because apparently out of the four people
in Sara's friend group, all three of them except
her are pregnant now. - I feel this big rush. - I hope we all have girls. - Having a little girl to hang out with and be my best friend and we'd get little matching outfits and
I'd paint her fingernails. - Okay, fine, but then we're gonna put all three of them in the same playpen and start a baby fight club, right? Guys, I wasn't joking about that! I already picked out my
baby's entrance song. It's gonna be "Fighter"
by Christina Aguilera, but the Kidz Bop version, obviously. So it's kind of more
about eating vegetables. ♪ Helps my bones grow stronger ♪ ♪ Booboos heal a little bit quicker ♪ ♪ Calcium and fiber ♪ ♪ I'm a carrot and broccoli biter ♪ Oh, I'm also gonna teach
her how to hold a knife. The most recently pregnant girl goes home and you would think is gonna
tell her mom the good news, but she's more of a my
mom's not home type of kid. (keys jingling) Picked up an extra shift,
make myself a pizza? But mom, you wouldn't even have to work all of these extra shifts
if you didn't insist on installing that custom
stone fire pizza oven in the former bedroom of
my recently-dead brother. Whatever, I hate this house. (upbeat Italian music)
(mumbled vocalizing) That's me tossing pizza
dough, if you didn't get that. The other more pregnant
girl and more curled hair goes home to see her grandma
and the seemingly dropout or above high school age
boyfriend who put a baby in her. - [TV Presenter] Whisk it in. Add one cup of fresh salsa. - John, don't let her smoke. - Leave me alone. Just one drag. - Besides, the high blood
pressure is good for the baby. It means my heart is pumping nutrients through the umbilical cord even faster, so it's like super charging the skeetus full of those pizza sticks
I had for lunch today. We don't learn about health
school stuff, whatever. In any case, what is
John gonna do about it? This is clearly the first
an most formal cigarette he's ever smoked. You can always tell when an actor doesn't know their way around a Marlboro because they hold it like the
wealthy, abusive boyfriend in the Titanic movie. Also, probably the real Titanic. There were a lot of bad,
old-timey boyfriends that went down with that ship. It's one of the lesser-discussed
positive aspects of that horrible tragedy. Just saying. Sara is sitting on a dock with Jesse. You can tell this isn't
shot in Massachusetts. It's just prettier. Jesse has thoughts about
all of this pregnancy. - I don't know why you
hang out with those girls. They're all skanky. - No, they're not. - All right.
- Don't be knocking my girls, you big snob. - Feminism achieved. Before the Me Too movement, there was, "Don't be knocking my
girls, you big snob," which also works great
for stopping a bully who's making fun of the
gay kids at music camp by transferring the target onto your back. I don't know how the screenwriter pictured a real teenager saying that line, but this poor actress needed
four years at Julliard to even have a chance at
making it sound authentic. I would ask the director,
"Can I swap that line out for something that feels
a little more natural to my character, such as,
'Stop thy mockery, Jesse! To those skanks my heart remains fervent." None of these characters attempt to have that recognizable
Massachusetts accent whatsoever and I don't blame them. It's hard to fake consistently, even for professional
actors and even from people who live in the area. I'm talking to you
directly, Mikayla Nogueira. She'll be like, "It's hard
to find a good mascara that I'm sure will last through halftime of the Red Sox game." Like, okay, Little Edie, settle down. Gray Gardens is closed. Regardless, Jesse here is like, "I'm gonna play on the Red
Sox and you'll be my wife." And she's like, "You wanna marry me?" He wants to go to college for
baseball, I guess. (laughs) I don't know how that (beep) works. I guess you have to go to
college for communications and then the MLB scouts you. The school nurse is
talking to the principal and vice principal about
the new pregnancy results and the fact that the newspaper is saying this spike in pregnancies is not really a school problem. She believes otherwise because the school doesn't offer any sort of contraceptives, like condoms or education
about birth control. And she's like, "Can I have your support when I go and talk to the school board about offering these things?" And the principal is like, "No, you can have support from your own bra and that's it, lady, get out." So she doesn't feel like the school is actually gonna help the kids with this. Also, the mom is rightfully pointed out to be the owner of a
restaurant, not a school expert, so I don't know why she's
in charge of deciding who gets to wear a condom. The dad comes home,
they eat tuna casserole because apparently in Massachusetts, you just live off fish product. He's complaining about not having a job and then Sara's like, "Whatever, I'm going to my boyfriend's house." And the dad is like, "Wait a minute, you're not going there alone." And then mom is like, "Oh, it's fine. She's a good girl. Nothing will happen. Cut to them laying in bed naked. Sara's talking to Jesse
about how she's worried about him going to college,
'cause he'll graduate way before her and they won't get to spend every day together and he's like, "Yeah, but I gotta go to college
to be scouted by the MLB." He didn't use an accent. I'm using the accent. They're about to have sex but they don't because the dad comes in
downstairs, and just like that, a new force to be reckoned
with rolled into town, rolled into Gloucester. - We're here in Gloucester. It looks nice, right? It looks friendly. Don't let it fool you. Only one bridge connected
to the rest of the world. It's very conservative. - Ugh, they sound so unwelcoming, although you did sort of just plow through a busy school crosswalk while getting some shaky B-roll of
the back of that statue, so I don't know, maybe we can meet them in the middle of the
aisle and just look out the front windshield every few minutes just check our surroundings
a little bit sometimes too. She's recording and posting
simultaneously, I guess. They didn't have live
streams at this time, so I don't know what's up. She sits in front of a
lighthouse and is like, "I only lived here for two years. I didn't have many friends,
but I did have one boyfriend who I haven't spoken to since I left." Cut to the vice-principal, John? Yeah, and you can tell
by the look on his face, he's the ex-boyfriend she's describing. The whole community, by
the way, is Christian and Bible (beep). They (beep) the Bible between the pages. No, no, that would count
as some sort of protection and they don't want that. Unsheathed penis, unsheathed penis! That's what God wants so bad. The mom of Sara is talking
to the dad of Jesse. - Sara and Jesse really suit
each other, don't you think? - Yeah, for now. I want Jesse to focus
on getting into college. Ladies, Jesse. - I know I'm not supposed to like him because he was kind of a jerk, but I actually enjoy his realism. As a parent, I would tell my
child, "No offense, sweetie, but (beep) your high school
heterosexual romance. If you're not broken up by junior year, there's probably something
wrong with both of you." The real reason I see for
not liking Jesse's dad is that psychiatric hold
of a haircut he has. I'm sorry, I wasn't gonna say anything, but we've seen like
three generations of men in this town so far with the hairstyle of a recently sober Stephen King. I did not realize how far
gone the fashion was in 2010, and I was the one wearing a
corduroy blazer over a hoodie. Fancy boy, what a fancy young boy. Oh, the gossip is that that school nurse is gonna be bringing
up the idea of offering condoms and contraceptives to the students at this contraceptive-free school. It is the law. - The school nurse got
the birth control issue on the school committee agenda. - It'll never get through,
not on on my watch. - If the boys in this town wanna have sex with my 15-year-old
daughter, they can (beep) her (beep) raw like God intended. Anyway, I'll see you at the bake sale. For Sara's mom, Lorraine,
maintaining abstinence-only sex education is a big
issue when attending these meetings for the
school board, almost as big as her hair is while doing
literally everything else, such as meeting the new
internet sensation in town while working at a restaurant. I'm like, did you get
blow out this minute? - What brings you back? - I have a vlog, a video blog. - Oh, I also have a
vlog, a vagina monologue. My vagina has thick, cracked skin like the back of my grandfather's heel. Anyway, today's lunch
special is regular soup and all of our desserts
are still partially frozen. The mom hears about Sidney's presence being due to the spike in
pregnancies and the mom is like, I don't think that's a good topic for a vlog, blog, or whatever. Kids are private business
and their in-utero happenings or none of your business. It's a family issue. And she's like, "Okay,
well, can you just bring me my (beep) pie and shut up?" The girls are at school
talking to a recent graduate from the class above them, I guess, a recently-graduated senior. You know those seniors
who graduated last year and come back to school to
brag about their cool life? It's like that, only there's
nothing to brag about because she has a baby and
the other girls are like, oh, well, I'm pregnant
now so my boyfriend says there's no way he would miss a chance to watch my baby grow up. We'll be together forever. And that gets Sara thinking. She's like, hm, maybe
I should get pregnant to keep my boyfriend out of college, which is like, sweetheart, if you really are thinking that way, you definitely need to talk to someone, but I wouldn't talk to your pilgrim mother,
'cause she will sew ya shut. She's fantasizing about the wedding her and her boyfriend
will have and he's like, I think we should have a big wedding in Kentucky or whatever and she's like, no, right here at the
restaurant and my mom will make her famous... And he's like, I'm gonna (beep) you now so that you don't say
any more stupid (beep). And then the next day seemingly,
must be a while later, she comes out of the bathroom
stall with a pregnancy test. I don't know why she didn't
have to go to the school nurse. And she breaks the news to her friends. She too has a baby in her. - Oh my god, I'm gonna have a baby! (girls laughing) (slow guitar music) - That expression says, "Wait, though. When I'm a mom, will I still
have time to curl my hair three feet wide every
morning or will I be too busy curling my baby's hair one and
a half feet wide or whatever? Maybe I didn't think this through." Honey, just run with it. You have no option in this town. I find it difficult to follow
some parts of this movie because the three pregnant
friends in the pregnancy pact are so indistinct and their
moms all look the same. Everyone's got red hair,
their houses are dingy, but we are trying to get the sense that maybe this pregnancy
thing isn't as glamorous as they thought when they got into it, 'cause all the moms who know are pissed. - Maybe because you decided to bring another mouth to feed into this house when I can can barely feed you. - You know, I thought
you'd be kinda pumped about getting to be a
grandma and everything. - Who wants to be a grandmother at 31? - 31? That bell bottom mom
is the same age as me, but she just looks a little bit older, probably because her
life is, I don't know, 46% more pathetic than mine. See, kids really do make everything worse. That's why I'm glowing. Also, Danielle, stop
stressing out yourself and your pregnant daughter. It's not helping either of you
with your congenitally dark under eye circles, not in
this overhead lighting. Work smarter, not harder. If your 15-year-old
daughter is mature enough to get pounded by some stranger
from Nebraska, apparently, then she can probably also pour herself some cereal into a bowl. She's like, "How am I gonna feed you?" It's like, you don't
literally need to feed her. Feed her some birth control. That's where you can put
your grocery store dollars. She works at a grocery store. All of the parents in
this movie are like, "Oh, I'm just a salt of the earth
guy who works at the dock." I'm like, okay. (chuckles) Thora Birch's character,
Sidney, is at the school, just wandering in like a trespasser. The principal won't give
her the time of day. He's like, "I'm too busy. You're just some internet person." The vice-principal, John, runs into her and we know they have a history. She explains why she's
there and he's like, "Oh, let me passive
aggressively yell at you." - You're doing a story on teen pregnancy. You.
- Oof. He said, "How could you even know anything about teen pregnancy when you terminated your teen pregnancy that I thoughtfully and prematurely ejaculated
into you, slut?" And no, Sidney Bloom
of TeenTalkNews.net.com has not yet revealed that
part of her history to us, the audience, or the people
who follow her online, but it still seems pretty obvious
that's what he's implying. But just wait, because
there will be a plot twist, which is also kind of sad, so don't look forward to it or anything. Just wait. I think it would've been
more interesting of a reveal in general if in this
first act they showed that Sidney returns to the town
and is the estranged sister of Sara and her family, maybe
because of this pregnancy that didn't go as planned,
and that could contribute to Sara's feelings around pregnancy, knowing that it could
get her excommunicated from the family while also helping us, we could follow Sidney
and Sara reconnecting despite tension between
Sidney and her parents, but that's not what they do. They could also have had
the older sister Sidney be someone who had never met Sara. She was that much older and they meet for the first time in the movie. Both of that seems more compelling to me and it also is like, ooh, this small town, so many secrets, but whatever. Seems like everyone just wants Sidney to get the (beep) outta town. - Do us both a favor,
find some other place to do your story. - Okay, first of all, never tell me what favors I should do for myself because I will 100% do the
opposite just to spite you. In college, somebody told me that I needed to try meditating, so instead
I literally smoked crack for the first time. I'm stubborn, what can I say? It's a Taurus thing. Smoking crack, that is. All Tauruses do it. Oh, and another thing,
vice president helmet hair. Your button-up shirt
looks like graph paper. Can I borrow it to make a chart about how many of the
girlies in your lunchroom are loaded up with baby sperm? It's not sperm from a baby. It's sperm that becomes a baby. Why is she even allowed
in the school right now? She doesn't have a pass, she
doesn't have a kid there. Oh, she runs into this
random girl with a baby. There are lots of girls
going around this school with strollers and this girl is telling her whole life story suddenly to Sidney and Sidney watches her bring the baby to the in-school daycare,
which is not school-run, they make it clear, but a private daycare within the school, 'cause it's
that prevalent of an issue. We go to the city council meeting where Nurse Crachet is debating Mama June about the need for pregnancy prevention. The mom is like, "We do
help our pregnant teens! We have a daycare for
them," and she's like, "That daycare is already
full and you're helping them after they get pregnant. Why wouldn't you just give them condoms?" And she's like, "Because that's gross," and the nurse is like, we need to shut the (beep) up right now." To me, I'm like, wouldn't a city go for the more budget-friendly option? Most likely. - Listen, I am sorry. I have given almost 150
pregnancy tests this year. When you have to give
pregnancy tests to children. I'll talk to you about flexibility. - Damn, what's the deal? Is she personally required to pee on each one of those pregnancy tests? Because she's acting
like it's a lot of work. I'm just saying, did you
know that non-school nurses have to inject Narcan into heart tissue and save the lives of
patients who say thank you by smearing poop on them the next day? Can't you just be cool and secretly staple some extra-thin condoms
onto the bulletin board outside the drama department? Those girls are the most sexually active, based on the unnatural shade of red they dye their hair and
unintentionally stain their scalp. I'm talking about hair so much today. Either way, that last part
where she's talking to John, she's resigning from school
because they are literally not doing anything to help
the pandemic of pregnancy. He's like, "Just be flexible here," and she's like, "The (beep)? You be flexible by letting
some of these (beep) hyper-virile little boys wrap it up." Oof, I should've phrased that differently. Well, you can't go back. The news is starting to
spread about Sara's pregnancy and after the smell of
onions makes Sara throw up, her mom instantly is
like, "Are you pregnant?" Cut to the dad, angry fisherman dad. ♪ Trust the Gorton's fisherman ♪ Drags Sara to Jesse's door
and starts a yelling about it. - Quiet, you, you think you're a man? Come on out here and
talk to me like a man. Your son took advantage of my daughter. She's pregnant. - So it's my responsibility
to become enraged and create traumatizing memories
for both of our children or I wouldn't be an (beep)
dad from Massachusetts who did the same thing 15 years ago. This is not the only time
that dad has a hard time reacting appropriately
to a sensitive situation. Who is it helping that
you're gonna literally kick a teenager's (beep)? You're already unemployed, don't push it. And Jesse's dad is a lawyer. You're really steppin' into it. Sara is like, "Wait, it's so weird that my life isn't magically fun now that I've destroyed my family system," 'cause the parents are fighting. The mom is like queen of abstinence and she just assumed it would be safe for her daughter to hang out
alone with her boyfriend, and here we are. - Was I supposed to keep her
locked upstairs in her room? - I don't know!
- Is that what you want? - I don't know!
- You want me to lock her up? - I don't know why this happened! - Yeah, there are published reports and verified statistics about
how abstinence-only sex ed only increases unplanned teen pregnancy, but was I supposed to read
those and understand them? What do you want, me to
trust and believe science, like someone who went to Harvard? Oh, yeah, this movie really goes into it. Jesse is freaking out. He's like, "I should've
pulled out every time or figured out how to get
condoms without anyone knowing." And Jesse's like, "Why does that matter? We can now get married and
you can not go to college." And he's like, "(beep) you. I wanted to go to college!" Meanwhile, Sidney is talking to the other confirmed pregnant girls on camera. I guess they don't need permission slips to be published on the internet
at this point in history. And those girls are all
talking about the circumstances surrounding their sexual activity
and eventual pregnancies. - My mom wouldn't have cared if I told her that I was doing it. I mean, it's just none of her business. - My mom's not... She's kinda- - Wasted all the time? - Okay, why would you say that on camera? This vagina monologue is
going on Teen Juice News dot internet website and you know that's where my mom
searches for information to get drunk and yell at me about! You know what? This movie is painting a
very unflattering portrait of Massachusetts, which
I won't disagree with. I just feel like everyone is
dressed a little too nice, like it's back to school season at Kmart. Where are those girls who came to school in Garfield pajama pants,
yet still had the nerve to make fun of me for being in a play? Like okay, your pants
were made for an adult who had a childhood horse riding accident and thinks they're still six, but sure, calling me gay when I
already admitted that is somehow a better drag. I hate it here. (upbeat Italian music)
(playful vocalizing) I'm doing the pizza dough
again, it's in my blood. Sidney is talking about
pregnancy, per usual, with a child she doesn't know, and Sara confides that she is pregnant. Of course, ex-boyfriend from forever ago, John, is watching intently in his study. - They have no idea the hardships that they and their babies
are really going to face and I don't understand why they aren't thinking about these things. - Because of white privilege, but in 2010, we white people were not
aware of that concept, despite communities of color
blatantly explaining it to us. Sorry, we sort of needed
a fellow white person to say it to us so that we could pretend it was a new thing we discovered. It's sort of our culture. I can't help but notice all
of these pregnant teenagers are conventionally
attractive, white young women from at least middle class
Massachusetts families with devoted parents. It's only painting a picture of the most privileged circumstances
that a teen pregnancy might happen in. These girls literally have all the Suave max-hold hairspray they could need to try and style their thin, fine, reddish strands of hair. I am really going in on
Massachusetts genealogy today. Come at me, Megan. I'm just kidding, I love my home state! But it is weird how it's like,
I come from New Hampshire, but either way it's like,
the 13 original colonies, that's like, mama, ground
zero for literal colonialism, so there's a lot of
problematic beliefs a-brewin', as there are in every area of America, but these ones have the
old buildings to prove it. Suddenly there are news
reporters from "The Times" calling the families
of these pregnant girls and they're like, "No comment." And Sidney is getting iced out
by all of the school staff. They're like, "You need to just leave. We're not into this news
information being spread." Jesse is giving the cold shoulder to Sara, probably because his dad is like, "We legally need to have her killed." But then the principal, the
one I called bald eagle, is visited by a "New York Times" reporter wearing a nice wig and he's like, "Oh, I have time for
'The Times,' of course." Again, Sidney is following
around these pregnant girls with a camera and some rando girl comes up and asks them if they have condoms, 'cause she wants to have
sex with her boyfriend, and these girls who are
like, "Oh, this vlogger, who thinks that teen pregnancy
is such a complicated thing when it's not, if you really care so much, why don't you go buy this girl condoms?" And Sidney is like, "Okay, I will, but you have to come
with me, random girl." And I'm just like, what is this scene? - Can we have some more, please? - He's gonna think I'm about to sleep with the whole football team. - Is that true? If she buys all these
condoms, would you think that she's a slut? - I don't know, probably. - Okay, you're right. It's embarrassing to buy condoms. - Yeah, (beep), because you're
making a home movie about it and asking this grown man for his opinion on my underage sex life. I thought you were
gonna take me into a CVS and buy me a box of Trojans, not barter for loose gas station condoms like some sort of truck stop hookup. The fact that these girls
are just like, "Yeah, I'll be on camera talking about pregnancy. You're gonna, what, post
this on the internet for the world to see? Whatever, as long as
you don't tell my ma." Finally, Jesse and (beep) Sara reunite. I don't know how. They're like, "Thanks
for coming to see me." It's like, you gotta gloss over
a lot of stuff in this movie to show me a lot of other (beep). But the point is they missed each other. They really love each other. - I'm gonna be real with you. I've been miserable. My chest has been hurting,
everything has been hurting. - Don't you see? I'm cargo shorts crazy about you, and I'm actually wicked pumped to spend our lives together, Pissa." But she's like, "Our baby, though." And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad said he'll pay for the abortion." And she's like, "What? I thought you would just love this thing that I did without telling you." He's like, "I wanna go to college. You're ruining my future." And she holds his face creepily close and is like, "I love you. Don't you forget that,
and you better (beep) me on the hood of this car." Oh, so at the school board meeting, Sara's mom is like, we
just need to raise $15,000 to add one more spot
to the school daycare. And Sidney is like, "I'm sorry, it's 15 grand for one year of daycare for one baby and you don't
wanna just pay 20 cents each for condoms that will prevent
any of this from happening?" And the mom is getting argumentative and Sidney shuts it down in the worst way. - Sara is very lucky to have
you to help her and her baby, but not all young girls
have that kind of... (slow guitar music) - Wow, you just exposed my family's secret in front of the whole school board after I recited that monologue for you about my Rumpelstiltskin grandpa badge." Bad feminism and not ethical journalism, but from what I understand,
you're not a journalist. You're just posting on some sort of weird independent teen website that you run with your ethnically ambiguous friend. That's right. At home, the mom and dad are discussing the financial issues that are gonna come with having this child. - How are we supposed to
pay the hospital bills? - Maybe Jesse'll marry her. - You know that's not gonna happen. - I don't know that. One way or the other, he's the father and they need to contribute. - I am not asking them for money. - Okay, every time these two
have a private conversation, my whole apartment reeks
of how depressing it is to be a cisgender heterosexual. After this, I had to find
a group of young people and hand out three condoms,
two Plan B OneSteps, and one Truvada for PrEP, just to cleanse the toxic energy out of my aura. Okay, the Truvada for PrEP was mine. What? I'm a young person. 31 is young. I'm young, you pregnant slut. I'm sorry, I was not using
that as an insult, okay? It's actually, in my community,
a sex-positive compliment, as in you just got bare
backed on the dance floor? You pregnant slut! It's like a badge of honor
where I hang out, don't worry. Oh, so Sidney meets with her ex-boyfriend at a coffee show up to talk
about her terminated pregnancy, how she did it without telling him and then moved away right away. He did not want it to happen. He was unexpectedly
excited to have the child and she was like, "Okay,
well, you have fun with that." By the way, he now has
a wife and two kids, so he wanted to have a family all along, and it's complicated, 'cause
she obviously advocates for both parents taking
responsibility for a child, but in this case it was only her choice to not carry through the pregnancy. - Maybe that could've been our decision. It's my baby too. - In my 16-year-old body. - After all these, it's the same mark. - (laughs) Well, hey,
if we'd gotten married, we'd be divorced by now. - Or deliriously happy, one or the other. - Babe, you're the delirious one. Look at the hair color and off-the-rack clothing style you've chosen. There's nothing happy about it. You literally look like Zach Efron in "High School Musical 3,"
and he was smoking cigarettes at that point in his career. What I'm saying is you're
a douchebag and you work at a school, so it would've
been a no from me, son. He gets mad and storms
off 'cause she's like, "I don't regret having no babies. You have two babies so like, why are you still mad about it?" Oh, ethnically ambiguous
friend calls and is like, "Did you see 'The Times?' They got the scoop on this story
and now it's national news. Turn on the TV!" - Those officials believe
that some of the girls formed a pact, an agreement
between one another to intentionally have kids. - [Newscaster] A new
development thrusts a small Massachusetts town into
a very negative light. - Okay, well this is coming from the state that happily embraces
the Halloween tourism related to the Salem witch trials. At least this pact amongst
young girls was creating life, not having innocent
people burned at the stake due to misogyny, Christianity, and racism, so unless Anderson
Cooper would like to hop on the 12:40 Amtrak
down here from New York and try to get me pregnant,
this interview is over, boom. That was too much. Don't worry, I'm on birth control. The Truvada, look it up. The girls are getting
mobbed by cartoonishly large swarms of reporters. Oh, so the news "The Times" published is like, "There is
reportedly a pregnancy pact." So that's the first time this
accusation is being thrown out that all of the girls plan
to get pregnant together, which we know they did,
but the mom is like, "Of course you didn't do this. You're not (beep) crazy. Let me be nice to your
pregnant (beep) now. - You guys have a steep
enough hill to climb without me kicking you all the way up. I'll making some milkshakes
and give those babies a shot of calcium. - So this is what it feels
like to be Jamie Lynn Spears. - Why, do you feel deceptive and generally disliked by the public? Okay, go off banana curls, do you. Also, not this movie literally predicting the Britney Spears Instagram
post from this year detailing the jealousy she felt as an overworked teenager when she saw her mom making Jamie Lynn a milkshake while she relaxed watching cartoons. "Well, I never got my
iced chocolate drink!" I stand with you, Britney. I'm not joking. Sounds like that would've been a super frustrating situation. Very upsetting. "Well, I never got my
iced chocolate drink." The news makes it clear
it has not been confirmed and the mayor is like, "We don't have any evidence of a pact
and there never will be, 'cause why would we know that?" And everyone in the town is
weighing in on this issue. - Yes, it is a big deal, but these girls feel a sense of purpose being pregnant, and what are they supposed
to do about it now anyway? - You could get an abortion. Sorry, I mean, they don't have to, but why is she acting
like that isn't an option? This was made before Roe
Vs. Wade was overturned. That only happened like, yesterday, despite what the constitution promises us in this horrible sick country. (laughs) (upbeat Italian music)
(playful vocalizing) Pizza dough. It's my only escape. When Jeremy, my editor,
sent me a first draft for this video, he said he liked
the pizza dough bit so much he had to do it himself. Here's that clip once again. (upbeat Italian music)
(playful vocalizing) Once again, Jesse is mad. I'm like, can we stop
with the up and down? I don't care about this,
I don't care about this. I can barely keep track. Every two minutes in each act, there's relationship status changes and his hair looks different. - My dad says I should stay away from you. - Why?
A lot of people are saying it's true, the pact thing. - Well, your dad uses Craigslist to have sex on an old fishing boat with gay guys from Boston who
are visiting their family, so we're all getting gossiped about for our shame-based behaviors, right? Seems like. I would be like, mama,
our great grandparents were literally scalping
indigenous people for this land and to get God clout. The generational trauma haunts
all of us, baby, not just me. Get it straight, hair dye Brandon. But they hug and make up
because basically Sara's like, "I would never do a pact like that ever," and the girls, the other three are at home smoking and fully pregnant. They make these girls look really bad. And they're like, "I
didn't even wanna do this. The pact was your idea." "No, it was your idea!" So there's dissension in the ranks. The mayor gets on TV and
is like, "The only news about this pregnancy pact
came from the president of the school, Mr. Bald Eagle,
and now that we're asking him for more details, he's fuzzy
all of a sudden on the details. He doesn't remember saying that. He doesn't remember the
conversation at all, so it's making the the
principal look really bad. I don't know how he found out about this pregnancy pact either. They never made that clear. Would've been nice if one of the girls told the vice principal and that's how. We need to know how he
knew the information and it was accurate. Jesse's fighting with his lawyer dad. Oh, and then Sara's at
the gynecology appointment and almost messes up her whole ruse. - Takes a while to come
to terms with a mistake. - I wish everyone quit saying that. It wasn't a mistake. - What are you saying? - Babies aren't mistakes. They're gifts from God, right? - Yes.
- Yeah, poorly timed life-ruining gifts that the whole family wish God has never given them. Anyway, are you ready for
this OB/GYN appointment without further embarrassing me? Because I have some flushable
wet wipes in my purse. I'm being really gross. There are vaginas in this episode. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do, not talk about it? That would let the pilgrims win. A reporter is harassing
Sara's dad on the lawn and so he gets into a
shoving match with him and then Jesse gets
involved and they start beating up this reporter, so of course they call the police and are arrested. It's like, you guys are really
(beep) with my (beep) here. I'm trying to have this
baby without hair loss and you're so stressing me out. Control your temper. Now, trying to backtrack on
this sensationalist story, Sidney gets on camera and is like, "We're talking about the pregnancy pact, but what we need to focus on is why are so many teen girls
choosing to get pregnant? Pregnancy rates are going
up all over the country," which is wrong. At the time it was shown
by Planned Parenthood that teen pregnancy rates had been decreasing steadily since the 60s, but whatever you need to
sell the story, I guess. Anyway, dad is out of
jail, they have legal fees. The lawyer of Jesse's dad is gonna help. Oh, that school board friend
asks the mom, Lorraine, to resign, based on the
pregnant girl you have and she's like, "Well,
no, I'm not resigning. I'll come in next week
and tell you my decision." Sidney and Sara have
a private conversation yet again on a dock. They love docks. And she's like, "Why do you want to make a pact about pregnancy? You could've have made a
pact to become rock stars or to go to the same college, something stupid and pointless
like kids should do." And she was like, "I just want
to be a mom and have kids. Why don't you get that? That's just what I want." And at this point I was
like, okay, go off, Sara. There's nothing wrong with that being your ultimate goal in life, but then one of her friends has their baby and she's suddenly like,
mm, interesting news. - She had to have like 37 stitches. - She must've tore her really badly. - Tore what? - Down there, stupid. - John, is the baby okay? - I guess, they put her on incubator. - Oof, okay. I'm glad no one had enough
space on their SIM card to record this moment
on their Motorola Razer, because it seems like this
baby's already gonna have plenty of memories in
the future to give it a mental illness without this piling on. I love how Sara was
all in on having a baby until she heard it could kick a hole in her perineum like Porky Pig when it busts out of
that "Looney Tunes" drum, then she said, that's all, folks and got outta that hospital. Nervous. That kind of brings us to
the realization like, oh, maybe you only thought your ultimate dream was to have a baby and a husband because you weren't taught the
realities of that existence. You weren't taught about
the negatives of it, you weren't taught anything about it, and that's why ya pregnant. So she calls John to be like, let's meet at the restaurant to have a talk. - I need to talk to you. If you can meet me at the restaurant, I just really need to see you. - I'm totally about to abort mission because I'm looking at some really obvious stock footage of a sick baby that looks like it's covered in cheese. Oh, that reminds me. If you get there first, can
you order me a tuna melt? When she shows up at school
without permission again, vice principal what's his (beep) is like, "I'm starting to see we could be offering more options to help care for these kids. Maybe I was a little narrow-minded." The principal makes an idiot of himself by getting in front of
the news and is like, "I will not be said that
I'm fading in my memory or anything that I don't
know what I'm talking about. The truth is, it's accurate
that there was an agreement between some girls to get
pregnant at the high school, but I never called it a pact. That's word the news is using and I truly don't remember when I said it." It's like, well, then
your memory isn't good. He's like, "What we need to
do is stop hounding the town to try to figure out
which girls are pregnant or part of this pact because
they should just be able to deal with it privately
in their families." And it's like, there's only three girls I see right now who are pregnant. You should know who it is. I don't know where this idea comes from, but (beep) Sidney can't
leave well enough alone. She's like, "I'll put
you on camera in shadow. We'll disguise your voice. You just need to admit and
talk about the pregnancy pact without revealing who you are
so that the whole news cycle can move on to something else." But of course she's talking about it right when Jesse and
Sara's mom walk outside. This is the second time that
some sensitive information is shouted into the ears of the public because Sidney doesn't
know how to act right. So Jesse runs off into the car and is pissed, 'cause she lied about not making a pregnancy pact and basically deceiving
him into intentionally getting pregnant and ruining
his chance at a future. Anyway, the girls all go to
a drinking and dancing party. The girl whose 31-year-old mom is pissed about the whole situation drops her off and everyone's having estranged relations with their family because of this. Jesse's at the party
too and he's just trying to drown his sorrows
with his weird friends. - Just forget about her. I mean, let's just party. - Everyone's having fun. We got beer or kegs. Have a good time. - Can you tell they got
some non-actors to play a few of the teenagers in the movie? Teenage actors tend to
have a little too much life in the face and
not enough slack-jawed, mouth-breathing mumbliness. Sara is off to the races in a scene that feels a lot like "Mean Girls." There's also another scene where
they reference "Mean Girls" by being like, "Your hair
looks sexy pushed back," so I'm like, okay, we get it. The movie came out two years ago. - Where do you think you're going? - I love Jesse, so if I'm not grounded, I'm gonna go find him. - No, Pregnantica! You're wearing literally your worst outfit in the whole movie. Think of the baby! Not those Bermuda shorts. The three girls who
haven't given birth yet, including Sara, are fighting basically, being like, "We were so dumb to do this," that everyone is right, and
Sara's like, "No, we weren't. This would all be fine
if nobody found out." And they're like, the
other girl who got pregnant cries all the time and her grandma has to force her to hold the baby. It's like, oh boy, that's postpartum. She should get some help. And then also the boyfriend hates her. Her life sucks with the baby, go figure. And at the party, Jesse and
Sara both see each other, but they aren't talking, which
just leads to binge drinking. ♪ Drama, all you need to do ♪ - Like Moretti's got a stalker. I hope that she has more friends that wanna get knocked up. - Okay, that's a weird thing
to say about the situation ruining your best friend's
life right now, but hey, don't even worry about it. Listen to the no personality
in your voice right now. You're not getting anyone knocked up, but you are about to have a knocked cup, which is when I knock that
empty cup outta your hands, I'm gonna knock all the clearly empty cups out of these teenagers' hands. I get tagged in a lot of TikToks where people are pointing out
obviously empty onscreen cups, and at this point I'm like 90% sure that I'm the first person on
the internet to point that out. Ego, so I'm sorry to
anyone who's already bored with that aspect of my brand, but come on, this is some of the most
egregious empty-cupness that we've ever witnessed. ♪ All you need to do let me dance ♪ ♪ Oh, tonight ♪ Easy there, Sara. Gulping down all of that extra air could make your baby come out born looking like a Mylar
balloon, although then people will think it's your birthday every day, so do whatever. The teenage smoking and
drinking while pregnant thing is a little much in this movie. They're really laying it
on and there is never once an onscreen thing being like,
"Don't actually do that." Later the doctor says
something, but first, Lorraine is yelling at
the reporter, Sidney, with her huge, perfectly-styled hair, "You're not a mother. You don't even know
what you're doing here." So that encourages Sidney to go on camera and post a video about
how, "I left this town because I got pregnant and
decided not to keep the baby. I told my boyfriend that I
had terminated the pregnancy, but in reality, it was
too late and I couldn't, so I gave it up for adoption
and got outta town." And so John is like, "Oh my God, my baby is out there
somewhere in the legal custody of someone else!" Oh, and she said the boyfriend
wasn't in the picture and didn't need to give his permission to put the baby up for
adoption, so whatever. That's the twist. Same results, right? No baby in your life. The girls are drinking, and of course, Sara can't keep her (beep) straight. (girls laughing) - Sara? - Everyone make sure to check
on your quiet, shy friends because sometimes they might
be dying of alcohol poisoning. At least we know one thing for sure. Sara is the main character
of the school year. Livin' every day like it's
"Degrassi Junior High." She's in the hospital. The parents are like, "Oh my God," and the doctor's like, "Excessive drinking can lead to birth defects. Make sure your daughter knows that when she wakes up from her coma." (laughs) So the mom is then being nice to her, feeding her yogurt at home and she's like, "I can't believe this happened." She's like, "I never
felt like I could talk to you and dad, or you
specifically about sex because you were so
adamant about abstinence and I didn't wanna admit
that I had these feelings that you clearly never had." - I thought there was
no way you'd understand. You and dad waited. - I didn't wait. - What? - Each time I was worried
sick that I turn out pregnant. - So you lied. - I thought you wouldn't take me seriously about waiting if you knew the truth. - But now you know our secret. Being horny for (beep) runs in the family. It has for generations and it doesn't show any signs of stopping. How's your regular soup? Too hot? After her online announcement of secretly giving up her baby,
she meets the boyfriend on a stool (laughs) on the beach and he's basically forgiving her. He's like, "You were a kid. What can I say?" You should've come to this
term over the last 20 years. Whatever, he forgives her,
but he is going to look for the son that she gave
up so that he can have a relationship with him. - Do you want me to let
you know if I find him? - No.
(upbeat music) ♪ Boss, Michelle Obama ♪ ♪ Purse so heavy, gettin' Oprah dollars ♪ - We stan a self-assured queen. Sidney Bloom said, "What's not clicking? I gave that baby up for adoption because I was not
interested in meeting it, thank you very much. If you manage to find him you can just, I don't know, write my name
on all of his birthday cards from now on, but I don't want
either of you talking to me." We get a glimpse into
the life of that girl who did give birth and she's like, "My boobs are swollen and the baby won't suck the milk out
so I have to pump it out and my boyfriend is mad
'cause he is taking a nap and my grandma's watching television!" It's like, we get it, you're trash. And the other girls are
like, "I'm scared too. Maybe I am gonna give up
my baby for adoption." And it's like, ooh, good idea! Sidney put the idea in her head. Then the mom goes in to
talk to the school board and she's like, "I won't be resigning. I realize now we're not doing
enough to protect our kids and I wanna thank Sidney Bloom. And then the next conversation, Sidney's talking to Sara and she's like, "They didn't fire my mom?" They're like, "No, they
decided that if..." What did they say? Like if she could be swayed
by a liberal New Yorker like her, then there
must be something to it. What did she say? The mom could change the
mind of a knee-jerk liberal like her, then she should
stay on the school board. I don't know what she changed
the woman's mind about, I guess getting her to admit
that she had an adoption? Anyway, I was so not into this movie, like emotionally
invested, but this got me. - I'm gonna be a good mom. Thanks for being my friend. - No, I'm not crying! It's just a stupid movie! You're a witch! I saw her sign the Devil's black book! Her spirit pokes me
with needles in the eye! Get her! Wow, sorry. When I get panicked, you can really tell that I'm from New England. Those roots start to show. ♪ They're burning all the
witches, even if you aren't one ♪ So then we go into an
epilogue type of thing where we see Sara going
through the motions of having her baby. It includes being broken up with by boyfriend Jesse, but whatever. She kisses the baby and life goes on, and that's all the babyness
that we have to see, woo! What do you guys think
of "The Pregnancy Pact?" Did you think this story was
interesting back in 2008? Did you watch this movie
back when it was on Lifetime? Let me know in the comments below. Also, give this video a big

never miss new videos from me. I upload two new ones every week, so turn on notifications and you'll always be the first to know when
I've got a premature delivery coming to the neonatal unit. That's a lot, that's a lot of realism. Also, I've got merch and a
Patreon where you could access exclusive bonus episodes
and virtual watch parties. You guys are all the greatest. Thank you so much for
keeping your adoption a secret from me. I will see you next time, mwah. (TV static hissing)
