There is something about this movie that is raising questions and starting dialogue around the issue of teen pregnancy. This NY Times Op-ed is just one interesting example.

I am not sure how I feel about Juno. I have not seen the movie yet - but from what I have read so far it seems to be sending a mixed message-- something between "it's ok to get pregnant because you can just have the baby, have a family adopt it, and then go on with your life as it was before" and "if you get pregnant as a teenager, there are options for you to chose from and deal with the situation". Again, I am confused about how abortion is being ignored as an option, which frankly would be the most plausible one...
