In an excerpt published by People magazine on Tuesday, she expresses her reluctance towards the abortion, stating that she would not have chosen to go through with it if the decision had been solely hers.

Despite Justin's certainty that he did not desire to become a father, he remained resolute in his decision.
Spears recounts her initial encounter with Timberlake in her book, where she details their shared experience as young performers on Disney's Mickey Mouse Club.
In their late teens, they embarked on a romantic relationship, eventually becoming one of the most prominent couples in the entertainment industry. However, their relationship came to an end in 2002.
In the memoir, it is stated that Timberlake expressed his discontentment regarding the pregnancy.
In her written account, she expresses that he conveyed the belief that they were not prepared to embrace the responsibilities of parenthood, citing their youthful age as a significant factor.
The individual includes the statement, "To this day, it remains one of the most excruciating occurrences I have ever encountered in my life."
Timberlake, who is currently 42 years old and married to actor Jessica Biel, has not yet provided a response to the request for comment made by his representatives.
After her separation from Timberlake, Britney Spears went on to have two sons named Sean and Jayden with her second husband, Kevin Federline.
In 2008, following a widely publicized breakdown, Britney Spears was placed under a distinctive legal guardianship that was primarily overseen by her father, Jamie.
In 2021, during a court appearance, the individual expressed to the judge that the conservatorship was impeding her ability to have control over her reproductive choices. Specifically, she mentioned that she was unable to remove a contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD), despite her desire to conceive a child.
