Juno is Responsible!

Roger Freidman writes at FoxNews.com:

For years, advocates on all sides of abortion and birth control issues have agreed on one thing: Unmarried teenagers should not get pregnant. They may have disagreed about whether abstinence or birth control were the best ways to accomplish this, but the end goal was the same.

Then "Juno" came along. Ellen Page’s main character gets pregnant and decides to give the baby up to a couple for adoption. Unlike another movie, the trenchant Alexander Payne film "Citizen Ruth," Juno never considers abortion seriously, so that’s off the table. She spends the entire movie making teen pregnancy look like glib, articulate fun. It’s a win-win situation.

I doubt the writer, Diablo Cody, a former stripper, had in mind to launch a new generation of pregnant unwed teens.

So let me get this straight. Every teenage pregnancy from here on out will be due to a mildly popular movie? Brilliant.
