Hawley Stumps Doctor With Simple Question: ‘Can Men Get Pregnant?’
Hawley: “It is not polarizing to say that there is a scientific difference between men and women.”
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions had a hearing today about the dangers of chemical abortion drugs.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified OB-GYN, a simple question.
Can men get pregnant?
You’d think anyone, especially a doctor, ESPECIALLY an OB-GYN, would answer no.
Yeah, not Verma. I transcribed the entire video because it will blow your mind:
HAWLEY: Do you think that men can get pregnant?
VERMA: I hesitated there because I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was. I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women. I take care of people with different identities. And so that’s where I paused. I think, yeah, I wasn’t sure where you were going with that.
HAWLEY: Well, the goal is just the truth. So can men pregnant?
VERMA: The reason I paused there is, I’m not really sure what the goal of the question.
HAWLEY: The goal is just to establish a biological reality. You just said a moment ago that science and evidence should control, not politics. So let’s just test that proposition, can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I take care of people with many identities, but…
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I take care of many women that can pregnant…
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I do take care of people that don’t identify as women…
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: As I’m saying…
HAWLEY: Let me just let me just remind you, you testified a moment ago, science and evidence should control, not politics, so can men get pregnant? You’re a doctor.
VERMA: I told you that science and evidence should guide medicine…
HAWLEY: Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant? Biological men. Can they get pregnant?
VERMA: I also think yes or no questions like this are a political tool…
HAWLEY: No, yes or no questions are about the truth, Doctor. Let’s not make a mockery of this proceeding. This is about science and evidence. And I’m asking you, you know, the United States Supreme Court just heard arguments yesterday at great length on this question. This is not a hypothetical question. This is not theoretical. It affects real people in their real lives, and you’re here as an expert, called by the other side as an expert, and you’ve been telling us that you, that you follow, right? You’re a doctor, and you follow the science and the evidence. So I just want to know, based on the science, can men get pregnant? That’s a yes or no question. It really is.
VERMA: I think you’re trying to reduce the complexity of…
HAWLEY: I’m not. I’m trying to get…it’s not complex. I’m trying to get an answer, and I’m trying to test, frankly, your veracity as a medical professional and as a scientist. Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I think you’re also conflating male and female…
HAWLEY: This is extraordinary. No, I’m not conflating male and female. They’re two different things. There’s biological men and there’s biological women, and I want to know, can men get pregnant?
VERMA: Well, you were talking about is biological…
HAWLEY: You’re not going to answer my question. This isn’t hard, Doctor. Can men get pregnant? Yes or no?
VERMA: I would be more than happy to have a conversation with you that is not coming from a place of trying to be polarized and pushing…
HAWLEY: I’m not trying to be polarizing. I’m trying to ask, I think it is extraordinary that we are here and hearing about science and about women. And for the record, it’s women who get pregnant, not men. We are here about the safety of women, and science that shows that this abortion drug causes adverse health events in 11% of cases. That’s 22 times greater than the FDA label, another fact you haven’t acknowledged, and yet you won’t even acknowledge the basic reality that biological men don’t get pregnant.
There’s a difference between biological men and biological women. I just, I don’t know how we can take you seriously and your claims to be a person of science, if you won’t level with this on this basic issue. I thought we were past all of this, frankly, I can’t believe we’re still here talking about this.
VERMA: I am a person of science, and I’m also someone here who’s here to represent the complex experiences of my patients, and I don’t think polarized languages, language or questions, serve that goal. I don’t think they serve the American..
HAWLEY: It is not polarizing to say that there is a scientific difference between men and women, and I want this to be clear, and for the record, it is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such. That is not polarizing. That is truth. It is also, by the way, the United States Constitution, which offers unique protections to women in a variety of circumstances as women. And your refusal to recognize women as women and men as men, is deeply corrosive to science, to public trust and yes to constitutional protections for women as women.
And I just, I think it’s extraordinary that you would sit here and advance a political agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the American people in this forum, and I’m glad we had this exchange, because it is exceptionally clarifying. It is also, in many ways, quite depressing.

Democrats and their supposed “experts” are agents of Big Brother.
They KNOW that the very meaning of being a woman is the ability to bear children.
Just as they KNOW that they are killing a child when they offer reproductive services.
Agents of Big Brother, and, of Satan.
Meme as seen on the internet:
Your future doctor is using ChatGPT to pass med school so you better start eating healthy.
I would have been a life-saving heart surgeon had Julia Breeden not gotten me pregnant in 1984…I demand reparation!
I see that Dr. Verma went to medical school at UNC. She should sue them for a refund of her tuition.
This very controversial point of medicine – can a human male become pregnant – is usually covered in General Medicine 101: The Birds & the Bees.
Just because you excel at organic chemistry and get into Med School doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart.
Not really.
What she should do is to surrender her medical license.
She’s redefining the word “men”. That is the game.
Hawley did great, but I wish he had called her out on this and asked whether a person with Y chromosomes in most of his cells could get pregnant.
Nobody should EVER use her as their personal physician.
After all “falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.” She can NEVER be trusted to put science over politics.
She is a witch doctor.
I learned that in my 7th grade Health class in my government public school all the way back in the mid 1980s. I know, last century, but truth is always truth and doesn’t change.
If you believe men can get pregnant, you’re mentally ill and shouldn’t have patients under your care.
Your comment is pregnant with meaning.
Maybe Hawley is saying that men are “inconceivable” and “unbearable.”
“You keep using that word…”
Reading through this testimony reminded of Abbott and Costello and the performance of Who’s On First. This was so funny and so sad at the same time.
It’s idiotic but she’s holding out for “men” having a different meaning in social contexts.
You had me at “idiotic.”
Different meanings in social contexts is exactly the opposite of scientific accuracy.
IMO the key takeaway here is that these lefty wokiesta ideologues are irrational and dishonest. The solution is to continue to ask these sorts of basic questions and if the witness appearing before the Committee answers correctly ‘No Senator, Men cannot become pregnant’ then move on. However when they stall, refuse, engage in equivocation or worse confidently answer ‘Yes’…mark them down. No confirmation vote. Then create a list to be used as an amendment for every appropriation bill no funding direct or indirect for any entity that employs the people on the list.
The easy “out” was to say that biological men cannot get pregnant, but she was probably afraid of the Demsocialist rent-a-mobs that would “protest” in front of her practice and home.
Irrational, dishonest, and consistent.
Democrats who want to stay within the party power structure will perform like this ‘girl’ with a degree. No matter if cameras are present. See deer, say horse.
Pregnant is a misunderstood word owning to breaking the syllables wrong. It’s pre-gnant, before birth (gnatus)
Similar to helico-pter, a-mnesty.
He should have asked if in nature which sex gets pregnant. Can male Labs get pregnant? Would asking this be polarizing?
She wont answer dogmatic questions.
Dr. Verma wanted to make sure she didn’t utter a sentence that could be used against her side. That’s why she did her little dance to avoid answering a straightforward question.
And made a fool of herself in the process. Serves her right.
.
That presumes that she is self aware enough to recognize how bad she came across, which is doubtful. These people see themselves as heralds of a higher truth than science, and public proclamations like this are reassuring to the faithful. They will see her as a champion of progressive enlightenment, being harassed by the churlish troglodytes of fascism.
I’m trying to decide if Orwell or Vonnegut is the writer of this incredible exchange. Perhaps a bit of both.
That exchange makes this old guy thin of Abbott and Costello and/or Laurel and Hardy.
I was waiting for Hawley to to ask “Did you really go to medical school?” or “What medical school saw fit to give you a diploma?” Just to make sure he was actually talking to a doctor….
It’s too bad this will not be seen by those addicted to MS/NOW or CNN so they can get a clear picture of the thought processes of the left…
#%@&^& — “thin” = “think”.
There is a distinct “Who’s on first” comedic aspect to this exchange, without a doubt.
Throw in Douglas Adams.
Verma is not a person of science. Verma is an idealogue who believes when progressives tell her to believe.
Today Verma believes men can get pregnant. If progressives change their mind tomorrow then Verma tomorrow would believe men can’t get pregnant. This is not science it is ideology,
This twit is a leftist/Dhimmi-crat zealot/fanatic/ideologue, first, and a “physician,” a distant second.
Fealty to the “trans” Narrative(TM)/mythology takes precedence, in her mind, just as it did with dim-witted, then-“judge,” Ketanji Jackson, during her Senate confirmation hearing, thus leading to these utterly absurd, idiotic and farcical exchanges.
She doesn’t believe it. She’s willing to lie and say a tail is a leg.
You are exactly right. She knows that men cannot get pregnant but but maintaining the delusion that identity trumps biology is vital to controlling the masses who have succumbed to the narrative that feelings define reality
All of that because retards can admit that men and women are different and that men can’t get pregnant. A thing that has been known by everybody around the world for thousands of years it’s all of a sudden impossible to answer yes or no.
Another form of AWFL. IF she’s an immigrant (and if so, I’ll assume legal) how would she answer this question in her country of birth? OR would the question not be asked because everyone knows (well, medical people know) there are two sexes: XX, XY.
BTW, My two key physicians are immigrants, legal. And, they get XX, XY
Play the game by their rules and exploit every opportunity through illogical statements such as “Ms X got me pregnant in 1987 and left me”.
Force them to disavow fantasy.
I saw a video of a couple guys who did just that. Claimed one of them was pregnant after he penetrated the other guy. Totally confused the airhead “interviewer”.
yank her medical license …
you cant drive a car if you dont know what side of the road you have to drive on…in america
No, but you can get a CDL in blue states and drive wherever TF you want.
she went on:
as a doctor I have pulled many a baby out of a pen is
Verma, and leftists like it, are painful to listen to…the utter level of stupidity…
Ouch.
“Hey, bitch I’m the senator asking the questions and you’re the witness compelled to answer. It’s not your place to characterize my questions. I don’t give a fat rat’s ass if you think my questions are polarizing. Indeed, I hope they are. You are here to answer my questions. Do so or find yourself in contempt. By the way, you obviously know that you are a woman because a man wouldn’t try to pull this shit.”
Hawley started off wrong, he should have first asked if the woman could get pregnant.
“SPOILER ALERT: Men cannot get pregnant”
🫃”We must fight disinformation!”
Not so fast! I just asked AI this question six ways to Sunday, and the woke, tortured answers made this broad a model of clarity.
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
(Pregnant Pause)
VERMA: The reason I paused, I’m not really sure what the goal of the question.
HAWLEY: The goal of the question is to determine whether men can get pregnant.
VERMA: Oh damn! I was afraid you’d say that.
b/c they have the upper hand
the left doesnt care if they “look foolish” and/or lie
thats how they keep winning
morality continues to be….
the other guys problem
marxism etc has no loyalty other than that to the state and its glorification…thats its religion
so they are kamakazies
they dont care what suffering their Renee Goods take…they become marxist heros
she will be laid to rest with a machine-gunized glock and a quran buried with her along with a copy of the trans manifesto the government wouldnt release
I wish her no ill on the other side but this side of the world is allowing ( more and more) of the mentally ill,, cant tell you what a women is,,,to take charge
not sit in the back but to actually take care
its a war be-atches and lefty is winning
maga
correction:
to actually take charge
Hawley should have asked this “physician” how she would have answered the question “What is a ‘woman,’ ” on the MCAT exam.
they will probably re-write that sucker to make sure no one is offended by such questions
or they will get even more aggressive:
when a man comes in and says he is 9 weeks pregnant but isnt sure if he wants to keep the child
but cant pay for the abortion do you
a) offer the procedure free of charge
b) kick him in his womb (ahahahahaa..I had to laugh at that)
c) tell him first to seek child care and alimony from the women who got him pregs
The medical industry is one of the “wokest”entities in America. Almost every medical school has reams of rules governing how the budding docs must address patients, list their pronouns ( more important than MD,PhD etc), advocate for Leftist causes ( gun control free child care, free…………..whatever.) Medicine ain’t what it used to be and definitely, ain’t what it should be be.
“I am a person of science…”
No, she isn’t. She is a Marxist who thinks her politics should determine truth. She is Lysenko with breasts.
If she is licensed to practice, she should lose her license for base incompetence.
“She is Lysenko with breasts.”
Rather, the appropriate synonym here is “boob.”
She is a boob with breasts.
Hawley is absolutely feckless.
He should have turned to the Chairman and asked him (or her) to instruct the witness to answer the question.
Had Ms. Verma (non-use of honorific MD is deliberate) not answered the question, she should have been held in contempt and PUNISHED!
When will it end??
The reason they cannot cede this point is because it is their victory to have the POWER to subvert the meaning of words to have exactly the meaning they intend at that very moment AND in the next moment turn them upside down to mean something completely different.
So long as they have this power, they have total and absolute power. It is why they have no shame in trying to tie you up in knots in these dialogues. The fact that they have brought this argument not just to the town square, but to the foundations of our country shows you exactly how much they know that this is their winning doctrine. Controlling language is ABSOLUTE power. I’m not saying anything new here, rather we are seeing the defining moment of this in the marketplace of ideas.
They will fight and die to keep this hill. Once they lose it, they are dead for decades.
Fortunately they are losing it. Not fast enough and not soon enough and not firmly enough.
We are not yet at the point where they are scrubbing the internet and their social media profiles of ever having stood for this nonsense. When we reach that juncture, that is when they have lost this hill.
They will always be welcomed in certain academic quarters, even after murdering Police officers.
Thank you Andy, what you wrote was the soul of Orwell and others who understood the power that language wields over people.
Our English is being bombarded and bastardized by foreigners and home grown Marxists who wish to destroy the American Experiment.
I note the incongruity of claiming this is a “polarizing” issue. It is in fact a POLAR issue; there is male and female, 2 sides of the reproductive scheme, two ends of an axis, which cannot be the same.
That was comedy gold if it wasn’t so serious.
To admit the obvious, the Doctor would need to go into the witness protection process because she would loose all privileges in the Culture Marxist party.
Her parents must be so disappointed. She is the 1% of the 1% yet she can’t answer a binary question that is basic to life because she is blinded by her political beliefs.
Individually these fools are just pathetic parrots, but back in their sinecures they insist that they are the bastions of moral enlightenment and have the right and duty to burn heretics at the stake, which makes them quite dangerous to cross.
Perhaps a more fruitful line of questioning might have been to ask which organs are required to become pregnant. Does everyone who identifies as a womam possess these organs, etc.etc.?
just because she is identified as a “doctor” (and by doctor, I assume physician is meant) does not mean she cannot be mentally ill
“Doctor, as a medical professional, a scientist and an expert, can a biological male get pregnant, yes or no?”
“Well, I nevah! I musty say I am absolutely taken aback by your brazen forwardness, sir, to even think to pose to my feminine person such a direct, disconcerting question to a biological female expert science doctor! Is chivlary dead, sir?! Have you no shame! After all this time …. (yada yada yada) … (blah, blah, blah) ….
The followers of trans logic believe a person born female can become a male. So that being the case, that “male” can become pregnant. Viola, you have men getting pregnant.
If they didn’t believe that, their whole argument would fall apart. As it should have in the first place.
