Sally Field Details Traumatic Illegal Abortion to Emphasize Importance of Electing Harris


Sally Field detailed her traumatic illegal abortion to advocate for voting for Harris-Walz and initiatives protecting reproductive freedom.

Sally Field bravely shared the story of her abortion at the age of 17 to emphasize the importance of voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and ballot initiatives that protect reproductive freedom. This was also in 1964, nine years before the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision — once the law of the land — that ensured the right to abortions in the United States.
