Stop what you’re doing and watch this full exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and a “Dr.”

Hawley asks over a DOZEN times if men can get pregnant and she CAN’T ANSWER.

She blanks, then gives word salads and excuses for why she won’t answer.

This is the star testimony for Democrats on abortion.

Unbelievable.

Dr. Nisha Verma is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) based in Atlanta, Georgia, where she provides reproductive healthcare, including abortion services, in Georgia and Massachusetts. She is a fellow and senior advisor with Physicians for Reproductive Health, an advocacy organization supporting abortion access. She was invited by Democratic members to testify as an expert witness in a January 14, 2026, U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on the safety and regulation of the abortion drug mifepristone.

She should have her license and board certifications yanked for this pathetic woke garbage. Here's the full transcript:

Sen. Hawley: Do you think that men can get pregnant?

Dr. Verma: I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was. I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women. I take care of people with different identities, and so that's where I paused. I think, yeah, I wasn't sure where you were going.

Sen. Hawley: Well, the goal is just the truth. So, can men get pregnant?

Dr. Verma: Again, the reason I paused there is I'm not really sure what the—

Sen. Hawley: 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? ... Science and evidence should guide medicine. Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant? Biological men—can they get pregnant?

Dr. Verma: I take care of people with many identities, but... women that can get pregnant. I do take care of people that don't identify as women. ... I also think yes-or-no questions like this are a political tool.

Sen. Hawley: No, yes-no questions are about the truth. Doctor, let's not make a mockery of the proceeding. This is about science and evidence. ... 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. You've been telling us that you follow [science]. You're a doctor, I think. So I just want to know, based on science: Can men get pregnant? Yes-or-no question. It really is. It's not complex. I'm trying to test, frankly, your veracity as a medical professional and as a scientist. Can men get pregnant? ... This isn't hard, doctor. Can men get pregnant? Yes or no.

Dr. Verma: 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— ... I am a person of science, and I'm also someone here who's here to represent the complex experiences of my patients. And I don't think polarized language or questions serve that goal.

Sen. Hawley: It's women who get pregnant, not men. ... Biological men don't get pregnant. There is a difference between biological men and biological women. I don't know how we can take you seriously and your claims to be a person of science if you won't level with us on this basic issue. ... It is not polarizing to say there is a scientific difference between men and women. And for the record, it is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such. That's truth. ... Your refusal is deeply corrosive to science, public trust, and yes, to constitutional protections for women as women. ... I'm glad we had this exchange because it is exceptionally clarifying.


Dr. Verma refuses to directly answer "yes" or "no" throughout the exchange, instead emphasizing patient identities and criticizing the question as polarizing which makes Sen. Hawley furious.

Hawley is outstanding. He reminds me of Jordan.

KJB sent Dr. Verba a dozen roses for making her look like a neurosurgeon.

In this case, I will go “Woke.” On a simple matter, Nisha Verma has let her ideology influence her scientific, and medical thinking. She should have her medical license revoked.

Hawley is on to something.

Smoke them out.

Hector them.

EVERY Republican candidate running in 2026 should run this commercial.

Introduce themself, and say I can define a woman as a matter of science and chromosomes, can my Democrat opponent do the same? Please demand that they do go on the record and define a woman.

I would have gotten up and slapped her across the face. She should be laughed out of the profession for denying biological reality, and then have her medical credentials revoked for blatent dishonesty. No medical doctor should be allowed to get away with this level of bullsh*t.

Hawley delivered quite a few verbal slaps across her face. He embarrassed her mightily. Her hectoring him because he was “playing politics” was beyond the pale. She and her ilk are the ones “playing politics” with kids lives when they cut off body parts, mutilate the kids, administer powerful drugs and cause irreparable harm to children.

People like that have NO place in the medical profession. If the AMA had any common sense or courage, they would yank her license and her college would take back her diploma.
