Britney forced into having an abortion by Justin Timberlake

[Jbrown76]

Apparently the song/video everytime is about her much wanted baby

She also cheated on him with a back up dancer their relationship was far from perfect. I suspect she's rewriting history here. She seems mentally unstable in her videos. She's let down her existing boys I suspect they've been witness to many horrors from her erratic behaviour.

Him giving interviews where he bragged about taking her virginity have a whole new level of dickish-ness to them seeing as he knew about the abortion the entire time.

This is a man who has used the vilification of Britney as a means to heighten his own profile, dragging her is a key facet of his career and he's spent years punching down at her despite knowing about her struggles with her mental health.

He's a trash human and his treatment of his ex is only one of the ways in which he's problematic as fuck.

Did she say he coerced her or her family and management? She has been a cash cow since childhood

I wouldn't trust anything her new "team" are having her put out at this point. Of course it could have happened, but equally, the people managing her are needing her to make money just as much as her old Conservatorship did. She can probably barely remember her own name at this point.

And where in the above statement you see an allegation of him saying any of these things?
From what I am reading it went like that
Britney: I’m pregnant
Justin: I’m not ready to be a father
Britney: I don’t want to be a single mother
Terminates pregnancy
Strangers on the internet 20 years later: She was forced! She was coerced! She had a mental breakdown because of how badly he treated her! He is an animal, fetch the pitchfork!!!

I believe she probably was coerced, she's been controlled by the people around her for her entire life. Look at the conservatorship which, rightly or wrongly, severely restricted her ability to make choices about her life.

I feel that we weren't there, we don't know what happened, we've only heard one side of the story, it happened twenty years ago and tbh I don't see the problem with him saying he didn't want kids yet and that they weren't ready. I can understand people discussing it but I never understand why someone's word is accepted as fact, and then further embellished.

@FeelSoDown that's sad that you think most men would feel that way. In my experience from both myself and my friends an unplanned pregnancy is just that, unplanned. Doesn't mean it's unwanted and I don't know anyone in my friendship group who's partners asked them to have an abortion just because the pregnancy wasn't planned (maybe I'm being naive and they just never voiced it).

In this case I can kind of see how it was interpreted as being "forced". Both on the cusp of big fame, not married and the public eye perhaps being disapproving of this (look at the fuss they made over Britney not being a virgin until marriage). It may well have been a case of coercion but then again perhaps she chose it because it was the best choice in a bad situation. No one will ever know really if she was forced as she would have to have consented to the procedure.

She was (and is) extremely vulnerable too.

Ok sure, explain all the absent fathers then, which there are many. I know loads of women that had unplanned pregnancies with men who now don’t bother with the children, it’s hardly uncommon 🙄

@FeelSoDown I must be extremely sheltered then where I come from. Yes I know families where parents split up but in my experience we are talking years down the line rather than from pregnancy.

To say that "most" men leave because of an unplanned pregnancy just seems such a sweeping statement that's all and of course not all men would act this way. I do feel incredibly sad for those women who have experience this though as it must be devastating.

Since a very young age she's been a product not a person , that's going to fuck you up mentally

Good on him he probably knew long before the rest of us that she was never going to be fit to be a mother and she certainly wasn’t and has not been for the children she subsequently went on to have.

I wonder if she was looking for support from partner and instead got pressure to abort.

Her mother was later claimed to be driving force behind her annulment and her father put her under that conservatorship so perhaps she needed support to make decisions best for her - from outside she was a successful 19 year old adult woman who had option of going it alone having no many people making money of her and in a odd showbiz bubble she may have felt powerless to make a stand.

I can see why he didn't want fatherhood at 19 at start of his career and why perhaps going it alone wasn't on cards for her - but in USA this is a loaded issue and making it all public does come with implications and may explain the public blame game.

I didn’t say most men would leave I said most men wouldn’t want a woman to continue with an unplanned pregnancy, I’m sure some come round to the idea and she could have kept the baby if she wanted (many women do) he may have eventually came round to the idea but he is not wrong for expressing his feelings on the matter. I don’t image many 19 year old men would be jumping for joy.

Woman chooses to continue pregnancy despite father wanting an abortion - he has to become a father and is expected to pay.

Father insists on an abortion - he's evil and forcing her

Make it make sense! Men are people to, imagine that being your son.

The man should have an equal share unless both parents want the pregnancy it should be terminated.

Britney is very very unwell. I don't think anything suggests she was forced. In fact I think Justin was wise to not want to be a 19 yo father given their relationship was shaky. She was cheating on him.

I have always been a huge Brit fan, but she has long become the toxic person in her own life and the life of her son's.

I don't like JT but I think this is poorly represented.

Mmm I feel it's a form of coercion.

The women make their decision based on/heavily influenced by the opposition from the father; not their own true wishes/inclination. The washing his hands of her and the potential baby makes her feel hopeless.

I've seen many a case on a male dominated forum I used to frequent of the "father" being advised to manipulate her by saying it's not the right time but imply heavily they'll have a child in future. Then dump her (or at the very least not have any kids with her) ... The "future child but just not this one" technique is to make sure she goes through with the termination before he dumps her/moves on

Threats of suicide are another common tactic by the "fathers" .... Even further along the sliding scale of coercion.

She was cheating on him

You know for absolute certain she cheated on him before she got pregnant?

I don’t agree she was forced. And, with hindsight, it was probably a very good decision.

This topic has been debated ad nauseum on other threads.

The circumstances are a reflection of human anatomy & reproduction.

Men have control of ejaculation. They do not have control after they've ejaculated their baby batter up a woman's vagina.

Condoms may fail, though rarely if used correctly.

All forms of contraception may fail.

If your son does not understand these facts, then he is not mature or responsible enough to be having sex.

And on the flip side ...imagine an abortion being coerced on a woman who's fallen pregnant by accident , who has decided she doesn't want one. That's the flip side of your "imagine it was your son, with no choice in having a child".

There's reams of stories of women who describe being forced to give their babies up for adoption in decades gone by. No one is nitpicking them. But the defence of a partner seems to be the main focus for so many women here.

Some of the replies on this thread are abhorrent and I hope it gets deleted soon.

I had my first baby less than a month after my sixteenth birthday.
Nobody could have pressured, coerced, made or forced me to have an abortion.
Britney was 19, an adult, and could have chosen to keep the baby.

You think a man having a different opinion is a form of coercion? Or are you saying that JT promised her a child at a later date or threatened suicide?

I would think if a man doesnt want to settle down to raise a child, early pregnancy would be exactly the time he should mention it.

Thankfully being pregnant doesn't mean you have to have a baby and creating a pregnancy doesn't mean you have to stay together. Those are good things.
