Watch as Busy Phillips cannot answer @replouiegohmert's question as to whether Melissa Ohden, an abortion survivor, has a right to life.
Busy Phillips per above and for whomever she is, some actress can not answer the question. I'm sure a written article will come out about this shortly, in the meantime.
Excerpt, below is about what occurred in part.
"Would you agree that somebody who has survived an abortion, like Melissa Ohden, has a right once she's born to life, to control over her body where someone else doesn't take her life?" Gohmert asked.
Philipps thanked Ohden for sharing her story and responded, "Although I played a doctor on television, sir, I am actually not a physician."
Gohmert said he was aware and pressed the point.
"I think that it's something that is very important," Philipps said. "I don't believe that a politician's place is to decide what's best for a woman -- it's a choice between a woman and her doctor."

So, in essence, Gohmert is trying to understand her position if a baby survives abortion, her response is she is there to discuss abortion not birth. I'd call that dodging the question.
