'House' Actress Lisa Edelstein Stars In 'Coat Hanger' Abortion Ad

Source: The Huffington Post

In a harrowing new ad made by MoveOn.org, 'House' star Lisa Edelstein takes on Republican legislation that would severely reduce women's reproductive rights.

As she walks down a long hallway dressed in 50s garb, Edelstein narrates the ad:

The ad closes with a shot of Edelstein dressed in modern clothes, desperately reaching for a coat hanger in the closet.
