Watch: Actress Busy Phillips testifies to Congress about getting an abortion at 15

WASHINGTON (SBG) -- Actress and talk show host Busy Phillips testified to members of Congress during a hearing titled "Threats to Reproductive Rights in America" on Tuesday.

The celebrity spoke about getting an abortion at the age of 15. She also talked about anti-abortion laws that are being passed in various states throughout the United States.

"Abortion is health care and should not be treated differently as any other health care," she said in her testimony. "I am so sad that we have to sit here in front of a row of politicians and give deeply personal statements because the 'why' shouldn't matter. I am a human being who deserves autonomy in this country that calls itself free."

Phillips has previously starred in "Dawson's Creek" as well as a late night talk show on E! called "Busy Tonight."
