In fact Juno's detachment to the baby while discussing the adoption shows that conservative family values were not the point of this film. The protesting girl was shown as creepy and so was the front office girl. The movie isn't about abortion vs. adoption, it is obviously about the strength of true love (between both the adopting parents and Juno and the one dude) as made evident from the entire end of the movie that you must have missed being too caught up in you liberal reactionary vendetta.

Juno also isn't even meant to portray the average American girl as made clear with her being called strange so, to me, to say that this film endorses pro-life because this individualistic character chose not to abort is like telling a woman that is pro-choice that if she ever happens to choose adoption that she is a hypocrite and pro-life. Pro-choice is not the opposite of pro-life.

ha ha, much better there! see? -- and i agree with your analysis.

but i believe that your response was directed at leakyheadboy not at me, right?

anyway-- i think the "danger" of the movie is that some people might take juno as a model when their lives don't match juno's circumstances. i mean-- looking for role models in movies-- nuts! but one cannot control people's imbecility.
