Tratto da qui.

The movie Juno makes some powerful suggestions regarding pregnancy and against abortion. What you're take?

DC: I had one image in my mind when I wrote this. That was of Juno sitting across from Mark and Vanessa Loring being polar opposites to her, and then having to audition to adopt her baby. To me, that was the movie right there. It was a weird image, and I couldn't have gotten that if she had an abortion. She had to have the baby in order for me to execute the story.

It's hard, Jason and I wanted to make the movie as personal as we could rather than political. Juno never moralizes about the choice she makes. We never get a speech like, "I can't kill my baby." I'm pro-choice, so for me it was very important that the movie not seem to have any kind of anti-choice agenda. Um, but when she's in the abortion clinic, I think of myself as a teenager. I was kinda this anxious, phobic little kid, and I was afraid to have blood drawn. I would have freaked out if I was about to get an abortion!

So she bolts out of fear. It's a personal choice not moral, I don't think. At the end, everything turns out alright, and then people say, "This is a candy-coated vision of reality." You know what, I had a friend who had a baby when she was a teenager, and everything turned out alright. It happens. And it's not always a tragedy. And I think women are being punished all the time for making so-called mistakes. I'm not going to punish my character.
