The Supreme Court officially overturned last week, and nobody is messing around anymore—including beloved American screen actor Busy Philipps, who was arrested at a protest in front of the court by police while wearing a crop top that reads “I will aid and abet abortion.” First Jodie Sweetin gets roughhoused by the cops at a reproductive rights protest, and now this?
In a video clip of Philipps being escorted away by the police posted to Twitter by Vice, the person behind the camera asks the actor why she was arrested. “For equality,” Philipps responded, with a look on her face like, “No duh.”

Philipps also posted video of her arrest to her own Instagram, along with several other photos from the event and a lengthy, impassioned caption. “I can think of no better way to use my privilege and voice than to amplify the message that bodily autonomy IS a human right, as it is ACTUALLY the exact same thing as the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she wrote, in part.

The caption continued, “This is the fight of a lifetime, y’all. It’s not gonna be short, easy or without setbacks. But we must MUST MUST keep showing up and taking action. *YOU* must. I promise I will. These horrible hateful small people who have been hiding behind ‘the will of God’ and indoctrinating new believers every day aren’t reflective of ANYTHING—not the greatness or compassion of humanity and certainly not God. I’m pretty sure God has no interest in this bullshit, honey.”
To emphasize the point, one of the photos Philipps included in her post showed her holding a sign that read, “There’s no hate like Christian love.”
According to , Philipps was arrested alongside other protesters for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court. Something tells me the arrests aren’t going to stop Busy Philipps or anybody else from going back.
