do you think it strange?

strange that in japan people freak out over suicide pacts while in the states they are freaking out about a pregnancy pact? I find it odd personally that the creation of life is treated with abhorrance at all, though I understand that those girls are simply incapable of supporting the families they are beginning. Anybody have any thoughts?

I just thought it odd that while looking into the news I would find two articles involving pacts with such opposite objectives being treated with near equal notability/notoriety.
