"Can Men Get Pregnant?"
C-SPAN Video ^ | 1/14/2026

Posted on 01/14/2026 7:18:42 PM PST by Republican Wildcat

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."

--------------

HAWLEY: "Science and evidence should control, not politics. So, can men get pregnant? You're a doctor."

DR. VERMA: "I completely agree science and evidence should guide medicine, I also think..."

HAWLEY: "Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant? Biological men, can they get pregnant?"

DR. VERMA: "I also think yes/no questions like this are a political tool..."

HAWLEY: "No, yes/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 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/no question. It really is, I think."

DR. 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 to an answer and I'm trying to test, frankly, your veracity as a medical professional and as a scientist. Can men get pregnant?"

DR. VERMA: "I think you're also conflating male and female..."

Josh Hawley: "This is extraordinary. No, I am 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?"

DR. VERMA: "What you are talking about is biological... biological males..."

HAWLEY: "You're not going to answer my question, it sounds like. This isn't hard, Doctor. Can men get pregnant? Yes or no?"

DR. VERMA: "Again, 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 push me..."

HAWLEY: "I'm not trying to be polarizing, I'm trying to ask... I think it is extraordinary that we are here in a hearing about science and about women. And for the record, it's women who get pregnant, not men."

Matt Walsh has the best comeback to a “doctor.” “You’re responding to a medical emergency, a biological male, a man with a ..nis. And he says that he is having a miscarriage. Would you consider that a possibility?” Uhhhhhh

Those in the Media are the 50% of the people who hear this insanity and treat it as rationality. I saw the documentary "What is a Woman? by Matt Walsh, and it was excellent. There is a part you can see here where he asks members of the Maasi Tribe: LINK: Matt Walsh Asks Maasai Tribe “What is a Woman?

The link take you directly to the part where he specifically asks them "Can a man become a woman?" and the incredulous looks on their faces, and the grins of disbelief show just how deranged out culture has become:

It is embarrassing. And Leftists would look at these normal, sensible men and classify them as primitive savages.

The question that should have been asked:

Dr. Verma, over your entire career as an OBGYN, how many babies have you delivered from male patients?

“”Can men get pregnant?” Dr. Nisha Verma: “I’m not really sure what the goal of the question is.””

None of your GD business WHAT the goal of the question is. Who the hell does she think she is? She should have been arrested by the Sergeant at Arms for contempt right on the spot.

Arrogant foreigner.

All this insanity is about what is the definition of what is a man or a woman. Biology has told us for many years it is chromosomes. If you are XX you are a woman. If you are XY you are a man. Pretty simple and accurate is this.

Point is my fan Tyrus the wrestler. If he declared tomorrow that he is female and feels female and wants to wrestle with females, what do you think would happen?

"Dr Verma should have her license revoked."

She answered all of those questions in her best AOC squeaky toy voice impersonation.

If she’s a medical doctor, God help her patients.

I’d be finding a new doctor.

“Nisha Verma GTF out of the UnitedStates !”

And take every other Indian with you. The Indian invasion has been subtle, unlike the Somali invasion. Both are destroying American culture.

God blessed the world by giving it America, and it is/was His last best hope for mankind. And here we are, flipping off God by literally inviting cancerous entities to kill us.

He brought us into the world; He can take us out.

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

Lady, my 6 year old could answer that question!! The goal is the same as the question of if females needs prostate exams!!

The answer to both is if only if those that are MENTALLY ILL and they think they are the opposite gender that they were assigned at birth... 😀
