Actress Busy Philipps gave an emotional testimony before Congress on Tuesday detailing her own decision to get an abortion as a teen and condemning the recent swarm of state restrictions on the procedure. Speaking to the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing focused on the legislation, Philipps said she has no regrets about her decision to get an abortion at 15 in Arizona ― a choice she revealed on her E! Today, state laws there would make it much more difficult for her to access that health care, she lamented to the panel of lawmakers. “If I were that same 15-year-old in Arizona today, legally I would have to get parental consent,” she said. And finally, I would be forced to give this state a reason why.”
