Sally Field breaks silence on the 'beyond hideous' and 'life altering' abortion she had at just 17 (cry me a river)

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.'

[’And then I found out I was pregnant.’]

Yahooooo Snooze had a wonderful story about how her gay son had a real thing for the naked Olympic guy who went skiing as such and had a photo taken to record the event.

Sally Field was working to get them together.

Aw gee, thanks Sally Field mom...

I believe that abortions were illegal in Mexico.

‘I believe, like me, they must want to fight for their grandchildren and all the young women of this country.’

At least the ones who survive the wholesale murder of them as babies.

Except for all the children, grandchildren, and women of this country that you not only wouldn't fight for but actually arranged to be murdered.

Shut up flying nun and take your granddaughters to any of the 100 places in Southern California that offer abortions. The supreme Court has found this to be just fine.

Hey, guys and gals, there’s a groovy new flick coming to your local drive-in... “Gidget Gets an Abortion.”

These people make me sick. It’s all about their “trauma.” What about the child whom she killed?

The baby she killed had a bad day too

She found out she was pregnant?

Virgin conception?

Is she trying to say abortions at any planned parenthood are better? If so, in what particular way?

That's not why you feel ashamed about it, Gidget.

I hear there are some great hospitals and clinics in Mexico that cater to wealthy foreigners. Americans go to Mexico because they can get quality medical care at far cheaper rates.

Why Americans Are Traveling To Mexico For Medical Care

You can receive state of the art medical, dental, and optical care in state-of-the-art private Mexico hospitals for a fraction of the cost of U.S. health care, and often with much greater levels of personalized service than typically received from U.S. medical facilities.

Also, do a search for "Americans seeking health care in Mexico"

Seems to me there’s a lot of this story missing… didn’t the father have a choice? Or did she not know who the father was?

'beyond hideous and life-altering.'

Making it legal or illegal won't change that.

Probably “life-altering” for the baby too, wasn’t it, Sally?
