‘Full House’ Star Jodie Sweetin Thrown To Ground By LAPD During Abortion Protest

Jodie Sweetin, an actress known for playing Stephanie Tanner in the comedy series Full House, was filmed being thrown to the ground by police officers during a peaceful protest for abortion rights this Saturday.

The group of protestors appeared to be attempting to shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles, while police decked out in riot gear advanced toward them blocking the way forward. Sweeten is shoved from the line of officers and tumbles to the ground where protestors help her up.

The actress remains in the crowd, and someone can be heard piping up, “Hey Jodie, you good?” Sweeten’s response was, “Yeah!” She had an encouraging amount of cheer for someone who had just taken a hard fall.

Sweetin’s publicist confirmed that she was the person filmed in the clip, and passed on a statement by the actress which said, “I’m extremely proud of the hundreds of people who showed up yesterday to exercise their First Amendment rights and take immediate action to fully protest the giant injustices that have been delivered from our Supreme Court.”

Actors and celebrities have been making their voices heard in the wake of the Court’s 6-3 decision to overturn Roe V. Wade on Friday. Several celebrities at the BET Awards last night spoke about the importance of abortion rights, while others have made calls for action online.
