Thora Birch in ‘The Pregnancy Pact’ on Lifetime

Do you find that you have a weakness for watching Lifetime movies? Good. Then we’re on the same page. Will you watch the new Lifetime movie? It has Thora Birch who I haven’t seen in a project in what feels like forever. The movie is called “The Pregnancy Pact” which tells you a lot right off the bat.

THE PREGNANCY PACT SYNOPSIS:Inspired by a true story, the film explores the costs of teen pregnancy with a story of a fictional ‘pregnancy pact’ set against the backdrop of actual news reports about teen pregnancy from June 2008. Sidney Bloom (Thora Birch), an on-line magazine journalist, returns to her hometown to investigate the sudden spike in teenage pregnancies at her old high school. Almost immediately, she comes up against Lorraine Dougan (Nancy Travis), the head of the local conservative values group and mother of Sara, a newly pregnant 15-year-old. Meanwhile, the school nurse (Camryn Manheim) tries to convince the school to provide contraception to students to address the pregnancy epidemic but is met with great opposition from the school and community. As the number of pregnant girls climbs to 18, a media firestorm erupts when Time Magazine reports that the rise in the number of pregnancies at the school is the result of a “pregnancy pact.” As the mystery unfolds about whether or not “the pact” is real, Sidney soon realizes that all of the attention is disguising the much larger issues that are at the core of the story.
