The woman behind the film says she wouldn’t write it today.
When Diablo Cody set out to write her first screenplay more than a decade ago, she said her inspiration came from one question: “What’s a story that’s never been told?”
With that, the 2007 Oscar-winning film “Juno” was born — a coming-of-age comedy chronicling the ups and downs in the life of a 16-year-old girl who gets pregnant unexpectedly and decides to give her baby up for adoption.
...
For Cody though, who has been vocal about being an abortion rights advocate, having her breakout movie be associated with antiabortion messaging is a regret that has troubled her for years.

Lead Actress is a Lesbian.
They usually don’t have pregnancy issues.
You do understand that, when someone appears in a movie, they are playing a role that may or may not be identical to what they do in their personal life, don’t you?
Wouldn’t that be cultural appropriation, and therefore wrong?
Oh no, a rational person. GET HIM!!
It’s really sad when you do one effective episode of positive, uplifting, humanizing, decent messaging in your professional career, and you regret it.
good movie!!
Of course the reality is is that if she’d opted for an abortion is would have made for a really short movie.
“a coming-of-age comedy chronicling the ups and downs in the life of a 16-year-old girl who gets pregnant unexpectedly”
Bullsh*t!!!
I saw that movie and it opened with Juno dropping her panties and sitting on her boyfriend’s lap.
How in hell was the pregnancy then supposed to be “unexpected”????
My wife rented this movie on Netflix and I watched it with my two sons I thought it was very cute and myself being very pro life I told her I greatly appreciated it
It’s a very cute story About a girl that gets pregnant in high school and then goes full circle between giving up the baby from adoption to keeping it
You could never make a positive movie about abortion
the recent one that was put out which I hear was quite excellent obviously is completely against the baby killing
A comedy. I didn’t see the humor in pregnancy.
“Unexpected pregnancy” = pro-abort spin/semantics by those who refuse to understand natural/known consequences of choices.
One of the key scenes in the movie was when Juno changed her mind about aborting her baby after she is confronted by a classmate protesting abortion and after she sees all the weirdos in the abortion clinic. That is probably what Cody regrets the most.
For that exact reason, most 16-year-olds aren’t taught about the consequences. So it might have been unexpected.
Pathetic.
