Josh Hawley Presses Doctor: ‘Can Men Get Pregnant?

U.S. Senate when Josh Hawley repeatedly pressed a medical witness with a single question: Can men get pregnant? During a hearing on abortion drug safety, Dr. Verma testified that science and evidence — not politics — should guide medicine. Hawley then asked her to apply that principle to what he described as a basic biological fact. Instead of giving a direct yes-or-no answer, the witness repeatedly pivoted to discussions of identity, complexity, and polarization — frustrating Hawley, who accused her of refusing to acknowledge biological sex.
