During a Senate hearing on Abortion, Josh Hawley asked Dr. Verma to answer whether biological men can get pregnant, framing the question as a test of scientific clarity rather than politics.
Dr. Verma repeatedly declined to give a yes-or-no answer, emphasizing the complexity of patient identities and warning that such questions can be politically charged.
Hawley criticized her responses as evasive, arguing that biological distinctions between men and women are a matter of scientific fact and essential for protecting women’s health and legal rights.
