"Sally's Pigeons" is a pop song by Cyndi Lauper that was featured on her 1993 album Hat Full of Stars. It was released as the album's second single in some countries, and as its third in others. The song was inspired by the story of a childhood friend of Lauper, who in her teens got pregnant, had a back-alley abortion, and died as a result.[1]

The song was re-released as a single in 1994 in some European countries to promote Cyndi's greatest hits album Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some.

Cyndi released a new version of the song on June 22, 2022, in response to the repeal of Roe v. Wade.[1]
