I personally don't think Juno "glamourizes being a young mom." Even if it did, it's a movie.
If girls are saying they're getting pregnant because they're looking for unconditional love, that sounds like a parental issue--not an issue of what they're watching on TV/in movies.
This article makes me want to throw up in my mouth listening to how stupid they sound. Honestly, when I was 17, I damn sure wasn't planning my baby shower. I was planning how to talk my parents into buying the prom dress I wanted.
I bet most of those girls are really just into the "idea" of having a baby. They want the "attention" they see other girls getting when pregnant. They want to experience the "fun" of picking out baby clothes, nursery stuff, and having showers. They want to play "baby dress up" and show their babies off to their friends. They don't actually WANT to be parents. They just want the perceived "fun" stuff.
I can almost guarantee that having a baby will immediately become unfun and uncute after they have their babies and deal with the late night feedings, diapers, and having no money for themselves. The novelty of having a baby will go away, the only problem is that the baby itself does not.
