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...

Oscar-winning actress Sally Field’s birthday on Wednesday was not as happy as she’d hoped as she was seen trashing her Kamala Harris yard signs in the wake of Donald Trump’s landslide victory. The 78-year-old star was photographed Wednesday by paparazzi yanking her Harris and pro-abortion signs out of her lawn and tossing them in her dumpster for the garbage man to take away, Fox News reported. Field had been a strong supporter of the Harris-Walz ticket and as Americans went to the polls on Tuesday, she had jumped to her Instagram account to urge all Americans to vote for Harris,...

Actress Sally Field has shared her traumatic experience of getting an illegal abortion in Mexico as a teenager, and calls for voters in the upcoming election to support Kamala Harris, so that reproductive freedoms are protected. Oscar-winning actress Sally Field has posted a video to Instagram in which she remembered the “traumatic” illegal abortion she underwent in 1964 before her acting career took off. Field first wrote about the abortion in her 2018 memoir “In Pieces,” and is using her own experience to highlight the current challenges women are facing since Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022, on the...

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...

Actress Sally Field called the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision “cruel” and “uncivilized” during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday. Co-host Joy Behar noted part of Field’s memoir, and said, “You had to go to Tijuana to get a secret abortion before it was legal.” She asked Fields what she made of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. “Yikes. I think it’s tragic. I think it’s criminal. I think it’s cruel. I think it’s uncivilized. I think you’re not looking at the ramifications of any of it, not only what’s happening to young...

Actress Sally Field says that if she sees Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) or Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), she “cannot be responsible for what I would do.” “Those men who are doing that, and they’re mostly male governors who are doing it, are so backward, so ignorant and really just power hungry,” the Forest Gump star told Variety, after being asked what she thinks of these pro-life legislation in states like Texas and Florida. “I think it’s criminal. They’re so wanting to roll back the achievements and important progress for women, for blacks, for the LGBTQ community. I can’t...

Ruffalo, the far-left “Spotlight” and "Avengers" co-star, went on Twitter on Wednesday to tell his 4.7 million followers why he was hanging out with the liberal Moore. “Last night with @MMFlint and @WSUCampaign planning strategy for the 2020 blue deluge!” Ruffalo tweeted alongside a blue wave emoji.

According to its website, the group was started “as an idea to foster connections and unity, and to provide a hopeful vision in the...

Oscar-winning actress Sally Field followed comedian Samantha Bee’s apology Thursday with a tweet suggesting that her initial attack had not gone far enough. Saying that she liked Bee “a lot,” Field appeared to claim that the word she had used to describe first daughter Ivanka Trump was too good for her. Sally Field ✔ @sally_field I like Samantha Bee a lot, but she is flat wrong to call Ivanka a [c***]. [C****] are powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest. 3:05 PM - May 31, 2018 Bee apologized for her comments in a tweet just an hour prior to Field’s, admitting, “it...

Sally Field has no qualms about being her son’s personal matchmaker — and has her sights set on this year’s most popular Olympic figure skater, Adam Rippon! On Friday, February 16, Sam Greisman, the Mrs. Doubtfire actress’ 30-year-old son, shared a screenshot of their conversation in which they were talking about Team USA’s Rippon. “Sam… he’s insanely pretty. Find a way..” she advised during their chat. Alongside the tweet, Greisman wrote, “Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush.

Celebrities keep using the red carpet to promote a group that sheds more innocent blood through abortion than any other group in the United States. On Sunday at the Tony Awards, several stars wore pins and ribbons to show their support of the Planned Parenthood abortion chain and the pro-abortion American Civil Liberties Union. The two groups often work together to challenge laws that protect unborn babies and moms from abortion. Variety reports “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill wore a blue ribbon to support the ACLU, while Hollywood icon Sally Field, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” star Rachel Bloom and actress Olivia Wilde...

A really really angry Sally Field announced on Chelsea Handler's Netflix show on Thursday that she joined Twitter in order to understand why people voted for Donald Trump. As you can see in Chelsea's tweet video below, Field is not only clueless as to why Trump won the election but has no real understanding of how our federal Constitution works.

It seems like only yesterday. In 1990, I first entered politics in Oklahoma. I ran for a seat on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the agency tasked with regulating public utilities and our oil and gas industry. The nine-year incumbent against whom I was running gave me an issue that was like a gift from Santa Claus. One of our major utilities had overcharged ratepayers to the tune of almost $30 million, and he had voted to let the offending public utility keep the windfall to upgrade its infrastructure. I felt the ratepayers deserved their money back, whether it was $50...

Like actress Sally Field, I am a mom. Unlike Sally Field, I do not live in La-La Land. We breathe a different brand of oxygen. We hold diametrically opposed worldviews. We have nothing in common but stretch marks. Contrary to tongue-tied Sally's incoherent Primetime Emmy Awards diatribe, childbearing and childrearing experiences do not bond all women in a universal sorority of nonconfrontation. There are sheep moms. There are lion moms. We know which kind Sally Field is. "If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no [expletive] wars in the first place," Miss Field bleated. In the Gidget...

Hollywood can afford to indulge Sally Field’s inarticulate naivete. America cannot. And the very moms that Sally Field claims to speak for know it. This weekend, I met dozens of military mothers in Washington, D.C., who fervently oppose the Sally Field/Cindy Sheehan model of maternal submission and immediate surrender. They were among several thousand grassroots activists who turned out for the “Gathering of Eagles” counterdemonstration on the National Mall. Deborah Johns, mother of William, a Marine who has served three tours of duty in Iraq, condemned the Left’s demonization of Gen. David Petraeus and urged Congress to oppose a precipitous...

Producers of Sunday's Emmy telecast bleeped drama actress winner Sally Field in the midst of a controversial acceptance speech attacking U.S. involvement in Iraq. "If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any god -" she said when the sound went dead and the camera suddenly turned away from the stage so viewers would be distracted. Chopped off were the words "goddamn wars in the first place." (The phrase was not censored in the Canadian telecast.) "This belongs to all the mothers of the world -- may they be seen and valued," she added when she won for outstanding actress...

O.J. Arrested LAS VEGAS - Plainclothes officers arrested O.J. Simpson on charges connected with what police described as a robbery at a Las Vegas hotel. A judge ordered Simpson be held without bail, and a court date was set for Thursday. The seven felonies Simpson was charged with all revolve around the use of firearms, something Simpson strongly denied when questioned by reporters while being arrested: "Firearms? That's (expletive) ridiculous, everyone knows I'm a knife man."
