Award-winning actress Sally Field shared her painful experience with an illegal abortion to support its legalization. But instead of helping her cause, her story is proving the opposite point.
Field shared her story in a video posted to her Instagram, saying that she had an abortion when she was just 17 years old in Tijuana, Mexico. “I had no family support or finances,” Field recalled, “I had nothing.”
She “luckily” had a family friend who was a doctor who drove her, her mother, and his wife to a dangerous and illegal abortion in Mexico.
Field described how the doctor pulled up on a “scary” street, pointed to a building three blocks away, handed her an envelope with cash, and told her to go in alone. “I guess he thought if I were dying, he could help me,” she said.
The procedure was terrifying. Field described being molested during the abortion, which was performed without anesthesia, aside from “a few puffs of ether.” When it was over, the staff rushed her out. “They said, ‘Go, go, go, go,’ like the building was on fire. They didn’t want me there—it was illegal.”
She described the killing of her baby as “beyond hideous and life-altering.”
Yet, instead of speaking out against abortion, Field used her experience to advocate for it. She praised the doctor for his “bravery” in helping her end her baby’s life. She even credited the procedure as a turning point in her life, claiming that fate, “something glorious outside of ourselves,” soon led her to acting. “A few months after that, I began auditions… And by the end of that year, I was Gidget, the quintessential all-American girl next door.”
This is a common theme among celebrities—they tie their success to the death of their unborn child, sending the harmful message that motherhood and achievement cannot coexist.
Field was a scared teenager facing an unexpected pregnancy with no support. It’s understandable to feel fear in that situation, it is almost never easy. But abortion—whether legal or illegal—is never the answer because it always ends the same way: the death of an innocent baby and deep trauma for the mother.
Many young girls today don’t need a connection to get an abortion. Groups like Jane’s Due Process openly promote their work trafficking teens across state lines and coaching them on how to bypass parental consent. Cities like Austin have even used taxpayer dollars to support this mission.
“And it’s beyond me–how you go back to that and do that to our little girls and our young women and not have respect and regard for their health and their own decisions about whether they feel they’re able to give birth to a child at that time. We can’t go back.,” Field claimed.
She’s right—we can’t go back. But not in the way she thinks.
We can’t go back to a time when abortion was legal in Texas. We can’t allow anti-Life organizations to keep luring vulnerable women and teens across state lines for abortions. And we can’t sit back as more young girls experience the trauma Sally Field described.
Women with unexpected pregnancies do not need access to legal abortions–they need support, resources, community, and love.
That is why Texas Right to Life and your Pro-Life lawmakers are in the Capitol fighting for policies that will protect both women and babies.
Here’s how:
The Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act (Senate Bill 730 by Senator Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) and House Bill 1806 by Representative Candy Noble (R-Lucas)): This measure will prevent cities like San Antonio and Austin from using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion travel costs, like plane tickets and hotel rooms.
The Woman and Child Protection Act (bill numbers forthcoming): This policy will go after illegal abortion pill websites, distributors, and accomplices that send deadly drugs to pregnant women’s homes and dorm rooms.
Join us in prayer for Sally Field, that the Lord will bring her to salvation and healing from her truly devastating experience.

‘Morning,
I am going to guess that since Burt passed she’s not been getting any on the side cashflow.
She’s not as bad as that milano commie dingbat.
In a lot of ways Hollywood is child abuse for adults. We watch and they get exploited. It been going on since before the “Little Rascals”. Hell of a note but we still watch.
It amazes me that the women who KILL their babies never think that JUST MAYBE it would have been THEIR child who would have invented a cure for the very CANCER they may die from. Maybe the child they KILLED would have found an answer for the climate change they worship or so many other things that their NOW DEAD child could have done to help the world.
True.
Wonder if that human sacrifice is the required fee for Hollywood success?
Still out there rationalizing murder, Sally. Pitiful. No surprise from her.
BINGO!! They want MORE women to have ABORTIONS so they don’t feel HORRIBLE ALONE!
Even if her story is true, it has no relevance or applicability to the situation today. Abortion is still legal in the overwhelming majority of states so to suggest that the “only” way to get one is to go to mexico for some “backroom procedure” is preposterous. Even prior to 1973, there were many states where it was legal. She simply chose to go about the process in the manner in which she did. She was not “forced” to do so because she had “no alternative”.
How dies this make headlines. She blabbed about this last year. It was disturbing then
Not anymore from this corner.
****“I had no family support or finances,” Field recalled, “I had nothing.”****
Aside from her actress mother and Pharmacist father and Hollywood childhood, a doctor drove her to Mexico with an envelope of money and his wife and Sally’s mother were in the car with them.
You have to be pretty high on the wealth and privilege chain to think all that is having no support and no money, she has no concept of what nothing is.
She killed her kid and satan rewarded her with fame. She returns the favir promoting the deal for future women.
If she had remained a mother, he career would have been beautiful acting gigs instead of styrofoam.
And soon after she sacrificed her child, her acting career took off.
Naw, no connection there…
“I had no family support or finances,” Field recalled, “I had nothing.”
Your name convent child had even less.
Her mother killed her.
Please remember to spay and neuter your Democrats.
Murderer!
To get attention. Because she hasn't had any attention lately.
It’s your business and we don’t care especially that long ago
Murdering your child to advance your career seems a tad ghoulish. How do these murderers live with themselves?
