Grammy-winning R&B singer Victoria Monét revealed she faced pressure from a music executive to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy, highlighting a broader issue of coercion that pro-life advocates say affects many women.
In a recent appearance on former First Lady Michelle Obama’s podcast, Monét shared the emotional toll of being presented with a PowerPoint outlining the challenges of motherhood, an experience she said felt like an encouragement to end her pregnancy.
“In retrospect, it was really, really disheartening,” Monét said of the incident. “I had a person on my team, though the intentions were good, really, really hurt my feelings because they made a PowerPoint presentation to me about how difficult it will be for me.”
She recalled the presentation’s finale, which asked, “what’s the rush?”—a statement she interpreted as pressure to abort her unborn child.
