*Why was the scene in the abortion clinic even necessary? Similar to the above entry about not using birth control, of course Juno needs to not have an abortion for the story to happen, but she doesn’t give a particularly good reason for it. The excuse seems to be that the idea of having an abortion made her nervous, but childbirth is a hundred times more painful and stressful than an abortion would ever be. It would have made more sense just to scrap the clinic scene and never mention the option of getting an abortion, even if it required some suspension of disbelief.

** Leah was going to pick her up after the procedure; she says so herself. And also, the talk about the different clinics and how the other one Juno considers requires a parental note. The one she goes to is clearly more relaxed when it comes to things otherwise she wouldn't go to it.

** WordOfGod says that Juno wasn't a virgin when having sex with Paulie, and assuming that she never got pregnant before the start of the movie, she probably just thought a little bit of sex with a virgin without protection wouldn't hurt. Unfortunately for her, LawOfInverseFertility is in action.

\n** On a rewatch, they aren't cool about the situation, but know that getting angry wouldn't help at this point. Instead, they ask the practical questions: how long has Juno been sexually active (a while), who is the father (Paulie Bleaker), is Juno going to abort or adopt (adopt) and does she have a plan for meeting with the parents (yes). Their bigger concern is making sure their daughter is prepared for the future. It's not until she leaves that her dad says he's going to kick Paulie Bleaker in the weiner, something at Juno would most definitely not want to hear, let alone that they would have preferred her being expelled or on drugs.
