Busy Philipps has taken a stand even if it means a run-in with the law. In photos and videos shared to her Instagram account on Thursday, the star chronicled herself protesting in Washington, D.C.

before she was arrested.«I’m doing this for you guys. I’m doing this for my kids. I’m doing this for my mom,» she listed off in a video on her Instagram Story during the protest. «I’m doing this for my grandma and, obviously, I’m doing this for my grandfather.»In video footage, the actress -- sporting a T-shirt that read «I will aid and abet abortion» -- can be seen holding up the peace sign and smiling while seated on the ground as a police officer puts something on her wrist and then leads her away.

In another video published by VICE News, Philipps said it was for «equality» that she came out and got arrested. ET has reached out to police and Philipps' rep for comment.

Meanwhile, the star issued a lengthy statement on Instagram following her protest, which comes nearly a week after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, ending the constitutional right to abortion. «On Friday, the right to make decisions about our own bodies and lives – a right we’ve had for almost 50 years – was ripped away from us by this new Supreme Court, a Court whose personal belief’s are NOT shared by the vast majority of Americans.
