Sweetin's representative told the news that the actress was doing well after the demonstration.
"It will not stop us; we will continue to fight for our rights," Jody Sweetin said after a video showed Los Angeles police officers pinning her to the ground during an election protest.
Jody Sweetin was one of several pro-choice protesters who faced physical violence at the Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday.
The 40-year-old Full House graduate is seen in the video talking into a megaphone on the side of the freeway before officers violently shove her to the ground. The incident came after the Supreme Court ruled to drop Rowe's 1973 case against Wade and his constitutional right to abortion.
"The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of a video of a woman being pushed to the ground by officers who would not allow the group to walk and overtaking Highway 101," the LAPD said in a statement to news. "The power user will be assessed against LAPD policies and procedures.
"I am extremely proud of the hundreds of people who yesterday exercised their First Amendment rights and took immediate action to protest the giant injustice perpetrated by our Supreme Court peacefully," Sweetin said in a statement. "Our activities will continue until our voices are heard, and action is taken," he added.
Michael Ade, the photographer who shared the video of the Los Angeles Police Department urging Sweetin and other protesters, said they were "attempting to remove a group of peaceful protesters from the freeway" before the chaos broke out.
"Jody is the real definition; luckily, she's doing well!" Added Ade.
Friday's 6-to-3 decision set a precedent for nearly 50 years and gave states the power to pass their own abortion laws. Following the decision, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, and South Dakota have banned abortion in their states after enacting a "trigger ban" that governors imposed after the SCOTUS decision.
