Juno realizes that she shouldn't raise a child. By giving the child up for adoption, she's implicitly agreeing with the technician: that teenage girls shouldn't be mothers. Neither Juno nor the technician need to be omniscient and know whether Juno herself would make a bad parent. All they need to know is that uneducated teenagers girls shouldn't have kids. And if they do, they'd generally be doing the children a favor by giving them up for adoption.

so keeping your personal opinions private in a professional place just goes out the window?  she should have kept her mouth shut and watched the way she worded it despite their ideologies agreeing with each other.

the mother could have retorted the technician without flipping out.  As I remember, the technician tried to apologize, but the mother continued to unload on her.    It was an irrational, bitchy move, and the characters all treated it like some kind of victory.

I would hate if my mother stuck up for me in a similar way.  I would find it patronizing, and I wouldn't want to be associated with that type of behavior.
