What I'm doing instead of working on a job talk

I'm at home with a sick boy supposedly working on a job talk. The net result is I have a quote of the day, from a CNN.com article on a Maine middle school handing out contraceptives:

After an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow a school health center to make birth control pills available to girls as young as 11.

The part I like is where they talk about being pregnant as if it were an illness, like chicken pox or measles - after an outbreak of measles among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow a school health center to make vaccinations mandatory before reentering school (I seem to remember reading something about this also in a New England town last year, although I can't remember if it was measles or whooping cough. What is it about New England?).
