- Only severely disabled children might be given forced contraception under the decision of guardians.
The life of Britney Spears has broken the hearts of fans all over the world. It was common news that she was getting mistreated by her father, who has also been her promotional manager. The pop star had also faced a devastating pregnancy and her motherhood has not served her well. Among many of the struggles she has faced until now, she had tried to break free of the chains put on her by her guardian. She has alleged that her father and the entire promotional team put her on forced birth control measures so that she could have no more kids.
Legal Status Of Forced Contraception By Guardians
It has been noted that forcing someone to take birth control pills is a criminal activity as it infringes on the basic rights of a human being. Just like getting an abortion should be a woman’s personal choice, taking contraceptive pills or avoiding them has been considered her right. The violation of human rights is clear as Britney Spears informs that her promotional team forced her to take this measure. This has been affirmed by Ruth Dawson, policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute, who has also been known for being vocal about reproductive rights.
Forced sterilization is condoned by many countries across the world. There has been a grim history of forced contraception and abortion in the United States. This had been inflicted majorly on the women from minority groups. The early 20th century saw a change in the form of laws for a woman’s bodily autonomy.
