Do you think that if Britney wrote this instead of Taylor, she would have been lauded for shaving her head?
Is it more about the fact that Britney grew up without a strong support system, so she wasn’t able to express herself like Taylor even though the act of cutting hair was very similar and done for similar purposes: a young woman expressing herself.
Why has one earned a billion dollars and the other the scorn of society?
Why do you think that is DCUM?

Per the title, Britney revealed that she had an abortion while in a relationship with Timberlake because he “didn’t want to be a father.” Yikes. I’m pro choice, but the phrasing isn’t a good look for him.
They were like 17 and 18 years old. Of course he didn't want to be a father.
+1 he made the rational choice that any reasonable 18yo would make. How many people would want their teen-years dirty laundry now aired for the world?
Rational to terminate a viable baby? They were healthy multi-millionaire ADULTS.
That would be born to a mom not equipped to raise children (look at how she's doing with the 2 she did give birth to) and to a dad who didn't want the kid. Sounds awesome.
Again, they were both multi-millionaire adults with more resources than anyone their age. Her own sister gave birth to a beautiful daughter when she was even younger. I guess her sister should have killed the baby too. The fact that her sister didn’t likely underscores the mistake Britney made and adds to her trauma.

So, what? Who cares what the sister did? Different people. Different decisions. And your use of "killed the baby" is inflammatory and unnecessary. Shame on you.
Britney's career wouldn't have ended if she had a baby at 19 or 20. Reese Witherspoon had a few around that age and is still an A-list movie star.
Reese Witherspoon basically had a shotgun marriage to Ryan Phillipe, who wound up being a massive jackoff. She then remarried, had a third child with husband #2, and is now divorcing him.
Acting is a LITTLE different than being a pop star. Reese was also born rich.
You're really twisting yourself into a pretzel. A Justin and Britney baby would have been healthy and beautiful...and fine. There was no good reason to terminate it. It's sad. And it's understandable that such a life event would cause permanent trauma. Especially since she's probably pre-menopausal and knows she can't have enough baby.
she went on to have 2 children that she has little to no contact with.
look, she may have regret. it may have been traumatic for her fragile mental state. Most people terminate and don't really think much of it later.
A baby being raised by a mentally ill parent and another parent who didn't want said child? That does NOT sound like the recipe for healthy and fine.
Sweetie, you have issues. What motives you to type such a disgusting bald-faced lie? Especially in a thread where a celebrity literally just wrote a book detailing her abortion regret from over 20 years ago.

No she was right not to want to reproduce with him.

I still believe, from the outside looking in, it was the best choice given the circumstances. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t allowed to have regret/feelings/etc
I personally have zero regret, and as many have shared with you, that is not uncommon. Not everyone believes it is a sin or murder. I don’t personally believe in God (though I did learn theology in school and even attended CCD as a child).
Regretting an abortion is a minority view. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Do we need to explain stats to you?

I always thought that she shaved her head so she couldn’t have her hair used for drug testing. The kind that can’t be detected in blood or urine, but can be in hair. No?

I do think some women have regrets, but the question is what is the regret.
and that is also a valid feeling to have. No one said people aren't allowed to regret their choices/decisions.
But regretting a past choice vs blaming it on the other person for making or forcing you is a different animal.
