The story about Target outing the pregnant high-schooler has circulated for some time now, but has it ever been verified? I don't doubt Target's capability to discover if a woman is pregnant, but the citation given [1] sounds a bit too anecdotal (and isolated) for my taste. Are there more cases of this happening? Any other sources?
