Despite repeatedly claiming to be ‘the party of science’, Democrats remain unable to define the differences between men and women. This ignorance came back to haunt one Democrat witness when she faced off against Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO).
During a Senate hearing on Wednesday titled “Protecting Women: Exposing the Dangers of Chemical Abortion Drugs,” Dr. Nisha Verma appeared as a Democrat witness to argue against the premise posed and to assure the American people that such drugs are perfectly safe.
Verma is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who focuses on ‘reproductive health care.’ She also views herself as an expert and a person of science.
At one point, she claimed during the hearing that “evidence should control, not politics.” When Hawley turned to question Verma, he decided to see if she actually believed this.
He had but one simple question on his mind that he wanted her to answer to prove she was not a fraud: Can men get pregnant?
Despite the answer being an obvious yes, Verma spent five minutes struggling to answer the inquiry. She later complained that yes/no questions, like the one Hawley was posing, were unfair.
Hawley twice reminded Verman that she had said, “Evidence should control, not politics.” Still, Verma continued to falter.
It got so bad for her that she accused Hawley of conflating men and women while also being polarizing. None of this makes sense to anyone with a semblance of common sense.
What an embarrassing and pathetic exchange for the ‘doctor.’
WATCH:
HAWLEY: Dr. Verma, do you think that men can get pregnant?
VERMA: I was not sure where the conversation was going, I was not sure what the goal is.
I take care of patients with many different identities…Many women
HAWLEY: The goal is just the truth. Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: Again, the reason I paused there is because I’m not sure what the goal…
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 um…
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: Many women can get pregnant. I take care of many people.
HAWLEY: Let me just remind you what you testified to moments ago: evidence should control, not politics. So, can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I believe that science and evidence should guide medicine…
HAWLEY: Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I also believe that yes/no questions are a political tool.
HAWLEY: Yes/no questions are about the truth, doctor. Let’s not make a mockery of this proceeding.
This affects real people with real lives. You’ve been called by the other side as an expert.
You’ve been telling us you follow the science and the evidence…Based on that, can men get pregnant? Yes or no?
VERMA: I think you’re trying to reduce the complexity of…
HAWLEY: No, I’m not…I’m trying to test your veracity. As a medical professional and a scientist, can men get pregnant?
VERMA: I think you’re also conflating…
HAWLEY: This is extraordinary. No, I’m not conflating male and female; they’re two different things. Can men get pregnant?
VERMA: What you’re talking about is biological males, uh…
HAWLEY: 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 from a place of trying to be polarizing…
HAWLEY: I’m not trying to be polarizing…It’s extraordinary that we are in a hearing about science and about women. For the record, it is women who get pregnant, not men.
I thought we were past all of this, frankly.
VERMA: I am a person of science. I’m here to represent the complex experiences of women, my patients, and I don’t think polarized rhetoric or questions serve that goal.
HAWLEY: It is not a polarizing question to say that there is a scientific difference between men and women…It is also by the way, the United States Constitution, which offers a variety of protections to women as women.
