If so, the movie is not to blame. This movie most certainly does NOT glamorize teenage pregnancy in any way, shape, or form. In fact, it goes out of its way to make it clear that teen pregnancy is undesirable.

It shows the troubles that a teen can have being pregnant. It doesn't
promote premarital sex, doesn't glamorize teen motherhood. Shows the responsability of facing up to mistakes we make.
I know you are right here but people must place the blame somewhere. When we were growing up we would go to the movies and see the bad guys ride into town and rob the bank and none of us robbed banks. The parents of these girls must blame somebody and the movies are a good target.

Are you aware this was the movie some are saying started the girls club that made the pact to all get pregnant this year.

FYI, those girls didn't make a pact to get pregnant. The story goes that a few girls discovered they were pregnant at different times. Through the grape-vine they found out about each other (as they didn't know each other very well) and made a pact to support each other during and after the pregnancies but then the media (who of course is 100% honest...note the sarcasm) twisted the story so that it seemed Juno influenced the girls to get pregnant. The principal of the high school spoke out his support for the girls in their decision and told what actually happened. And, no, Juno had absolutely nothing to do with them getting pregnant.
BTW, I thought Juno was a good comedy. Not spectacular but good.

The people that didn’t like it probably needs wanton destruction throughout the movie.
I agree. Wanton destruction of both the MC and Bateman's character would have definitely improved this film.
