Imagine you’re sitting in a doctor’s office, hoping to hear sound medical advice grounded in science. Now imagine that same doctor, when asked a simple question like “Can men get pregnant?” responds with a stammer, a word salad, and a lecture on political language. If that sounds like a scene from a Saturday Night Live sketch, buckle up — it happened in real life, on the Senate floor.
Dr. Nisha Verma, a Georgia OB-GYN and pro-abortion activist, testified on behalf of Democrats before Congress this week to push for wider access to the abortion pill mifepristone — a drug that’s already under fire for safety concerns. But before she could get too deep into her well-rehearsed talking points, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri tried to establish her credibility as a medical professional. As part of his questioning he asked her something that apparently no woke person in the medical establishment can answer anymore: “Can men get pregnant?”
You’d think a doctor, someone with countless years of medical schooling and years of on the job training, would have a yes-or-no answer to that. Instead, Dr. Verma hesitated, mumbled about “identities,” and tried to steer the conversation into the weeds. Hawley, unimpressed, kept hammering the basics: “Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant? Biological men, can they get pregnant?”
Dr. Verma shockingly dodged again. She claimed that “yes-no questions are a political tool.” That’s right — a binary biological fact, the kind we all learned in sixth-grade health class, is now considered a “political weapon” by the same people who say they’re following the science. Spoiler alert: they’re not.
We shouldn’t have to say this, but apparently in the upside-down world we’re forced to live in with liberals it must be: No, biological men cannot get pregnant. That’s not just a conservative opinion — it’s basic human biology. If your doctor can’t say that out loud, maybe it’s time to find a new doctor.
But this is what happens when identity politics infect science and the medical field. A doctor like Verma, who claims to care about science and safety, won’t acknowledge that men aren’t capable of pregnancy — yet she wants us to trust her assessment of a drug that causes adverse health events in 11% of cases. That’s 22 times higher than what the FDA says on the label. And she didn’t even bother to refute that number during testimony. Maybe because she couldn’t.
Senator Hawley nailed it when he said, “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.” Exactly. If you can’t admit what a man is, why should we believe you when you tell us a chemical abortion is safe?
This is what happens when the Left’s gender ideology runs headfirst into actual science. They tell us to “follow the science,” but only if that science fits their worldview. If it doesn’t, they label questions as “political tools” and pretend not to understand.
And let’s not forget what this hearing was actually about: mifepristone. A pill that’s being pushed as perfectly safe, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. According to the data Hawley cited, 11% of women suffer complications from it — a staggering number for something the Left wants to hand out like candy. But instead of debating that, Dr. Verma chose to argue about whether men can give birth.
This is the medical establishment in 2026. More concerned with appeasing woke activists than telling the truth. More interested in word games than women’s health. And if we don’t dig in and demand a return to common sense, we’re going to let these people rewrite the very laws of nature.
The midterms are coming, and voters have a choice: keep empowering people who can’t tell you what a woman is, or stand with those who still believe in truth, biology, and protecting life.
