“We will not back down, we will not give in and we will not stop fighting until there is equality for all Americans,” the actor wrote on Instagram.

Actor Busy Philipps was arrested while protesting for abortion rights on Thursday and said she “will not back down.”

The “Cougar Town” alum was detained for blocking traffic at a pro-choice demonstration outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, People reported. Philipps was joining Planned Parenthood leaders and activists protesting the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which protected the constitutional right to abortion for nearly 50 years.

She was escorted away by U.S. Capitol Police while wearing a shirt that read “I will aid and abet abortion.” The 43-year-old subsequently posted footage of her arrest on Instagram, with a caption that called for peaceful protests.

“We will not back down, we will not give in and we will not stop fighting until there is equality for all Americans,” she wrote.
