Actress Sally Field shares traumatic abortion experience in support of Kamala Harris

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 grounds that the right to abortion was not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history or tradition”. “I’ve been so hesitant to do this, to tell my horrific story,” Field wrote in the caption to the video. “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 continued: “It’s one of the reasons why so many of us are supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
