Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO): "Can men get pregnant ?"

Dr. Nisha Verma: "I'm not really sure what the goal of the question is ."

Hawley: "The goal is just to establish a biological reality. You said just a moment ago that science and evidence should control, not politics. So, let's test that. Can men get pregnant ?"

Dr. Verma: "I take care of people with many identities...I'm also someone here to represent the complex experiences of my patients. I don't think polarized language or questions serve that goal... "

Hawley: "It is not polarizing to say that there is a scientific difference between men and women...It is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such ."
