Busy Philipps makes political statement on the red carpet with pro-choice clutch

Busy Philipps made a political statement on the red carpet just days ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

The actress, 43, carried a white clutch with ‘Abortion Is On The Ballot’ boldly written in sharpie across the front as she attended Glamour’s 2022 Women Of The Year Awards on Tuesday.

Philipps, who is single again after splitting from husband Marc Silverstein last year, looked better than ever in a plunging white ruffled frock with front leg split.

Taking a stand: Busy Philipps made a political statement on the red carpet just days ahead of the 2022 midterm elections on Tuesday 

She shot a smoldering gaze at the camera with a hand placed confidently on her hip.

The Freaks and Geeks alum slipped her legs into a pair of sheer black tights whilst striking poses in platform peep toe heels.

Her blonde hair was styled in a voluminous, chic updo that swept over her forehead in a dramatic side part.

As for her radiant complexion, she brought out her piercing blue eyes with a coat of golden eyeshadow while touching up her complexion with dewy blush and a fresh sheen of lip gloss.

Sending a message: Philipps made a pro-choice statement with an ‘Abortion is on the ballot’ 

With all eyes on her clutch, she ensured her nails were looking sharp with a silver iridescent manicure.

In June, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Busy was arrested attending a pro-choice protest held outside the Supreme Court.

The Cougar Town star was seen wearing a shirt reading ‘I will aid and abet abortion,’ while being led away by a pair of police officers in a video posted by Vice News.

Simply stunning: The star radiated glamour with her hair all styled up and a fresh sheen of lip gloss on her pout 

Philipps was arrested for blocking traffic outside the court building alongside number of Planned Parenthood leaders.

She told reporters that she was protesting ‘For equality’. As she was cuffed and led away, members of the crowd could be heard cheering her on and saying ‘Thank you for your service.’

Philipps wrote about the protest in a lengthy Instagram post in which she shared photos and videos of her arrest.

‘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,’ she wrote, ‘as it is ACTUALLY the exact same thing as the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’

Philipps described the protest as ‘an action of peaceful civil disobedience,’ saying the intention was ‘to let lawmakers but more importantly, the people who will be most impacted by this outrageous decision, know that we will not back down, we will not give in and we will not stop fighting until there is equality for all Americans.’

Philipps has been open about her own experience receiving an abortion at the age of 15.

‘I had an abortion when I was 15 years old and I’m telling you this because I’m genuinely really scared for women and girls all over the country,’ she said in 2019 episode of her talk show, Busy Tonight.
