Sally Field has shared heart-wrenching details about the illegal abortion she got in Mexico when she was just 17.
The 77-year-old actress — who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in September — recounted the 'horrific story' in an Instagram post on Sunday.
'I still feel very ashamed about it because I was raised in the 50s and it's ingrained in me,' the Mrs. Doubtfire star said on Instagram.
'I've been so hesitant to do this, to tell my horrific story. It was during a time even worse than now. A time when contraception was not readily available and only if you were married.
'But I feel that so many women of my generation went through similar, traumatic events, and I feel stronger when I think of them. I believe, like me, they must want to fight for their grandchildren and all the young women of this country.'
She explained that at the time she had 'no choices, family support or finances'.
'I graduated high school but no one ever said, 'How about college?' Nothing. I didn't know what I was gonna be.
'And then I found out I was pregnant.'
She said a family doctor and his wife, who were friends of the family, drove her and her mother in their brand-new Cadillac, to Tijuana, Mexico.
In harrowing detail, she went on to say, 'We parked on a really scroungy-looking street. It was scary and he parked about three blocks away and said, 'See that building down there?'
'And he gave me an envelope with cash and I was to walk into that building and give them the cash and then come right back to him.'
Sally described the abortion, which took place before the now-overturned Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, as 'beyond hideous and life-altering.'

She found out she was pregnant...the unprotected sex might have been the cause.
The unprotected sex WAS the cause and Sally was so hedonistic, amoral and selfish that she killed the life that resulted from it.
Who was the father to be? Someone who jumped Frog.
I didn’t like Sally before, now I really don’t like her.
Just like that, out of the blue, she was pregnant!

- 1989 — Norma Rae: "Textile mills are gone."
I was gonna say....
It’s a miracle!
Who cares about this dumb twit and what happened to her over half a century ago? And WHY do people like her have to let the whole world know their sorry stories?
Congratulations, Sally! You allowed an innocent baby to be tortured and murdered.
The Lying None
Sally said: ‘So here is my story. I’d be honored if you’d tell me yours, if you can.’
That way they can work at convincing each that what they did was good and right, and so drown out their consciences. But in the small hours of the night they will still hear and know the truth.
Sally Field had a rich doctor drive her to Mexico to get an abortion? Why didn’t he just perform it himself, or get one of his libiot MD friends to do it?
A year before Gidget.
I don’t like her. I really really don’t like her.
But Fields justified her Baby killing due to a lack of access to contraceptives which are now easier to get and more available than an Assault Rifle (which I am sure she wants to ban), so what justification does she have for her blood lust of the innocent now ?
Well, she rode in a Trans Am once, so there’s that
I had one - gosh those were great days
My parents were wonderful, and I am so glad he and his brother got to know their grandparents, because all four of my grandparents had passed before I was born in 1947. He was a joy as a baby, and is still a joy at the soon-to-be-age of 58. I am so proud of him. He just spent the weekend here with me and his younger brother.
Extremely well played !
So only married people could get rubbers in 1964?
Gee ... I wonder how THAT happened. Such a great mystery ...
