‘Juno’ Screenwriter Now Regrets Film’s Pro-Life Message In Light Of Georgia, Alabama Laws

Paul Bois

The 2007 Oscar-winning movie “Juno” famously featured a pregnant teenage girl (Juno MacGuff) visiting an abortion clinic and then deciding to keep her baby after a pro-life activist tells her it has “fingernails.” Eventually, Juno (played by Ellen Page) gives the baby up for adoption. The baby survives and Juno goes on to enjoy her teen years.

Screenwriter Diablo Cody won an Academy Award for her light-hearted depiction of teen pregnancy in which the hero elects to give the baby a second chance at life. Today, however, in light of the anti-abortion bills in Georgia and Alabama, Diablo Cody wishes she had done differently, reports HuffPost.
