LIFETIME will dramatize the infamous teen “pregnancy pact” that made national headlines last year.
The movie, no surprise, will be called “Pregnancy Pact” and will be based on the case of 17 pregnant high schoolers in Gloucester, Mass. — none older than 16 — who supposedly had a pact to become “with child” simultaneously.
“Pregnancy Pact” will be produced by Von Zerneck-Sertner films, the same people behind Lifetime’s “Natalee Holloway” movie, according to Variety.
The movie isn’t expected to replicate the Gloucester situation — but will use it as its dramatic inspiration.
The original story broke in June 2008 in Time magazine, which interviewed Gloucester HS principal Joseph Sullivan — who said the 17 girls had a pact to not only get pregnant together, but to raise their children among the group.
