Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) cut straight to the heart of the matter, asking point-blank: \u201cCan men get pregnant?\u201d Verma evaded with leftist jargon, claiming she treats \u201cpeople with many identities\u201d instead of affirming basic biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undeterred by the obfuscation, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) pressed Verma again on whether biological males can become pregnant. Once more, she sidestepped, dismissing the query as \u201cpolarizing.\u201d Hawley fired back with unapologetic clarity: \u201cIt is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such; that is not polarizing. That is truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Missouri senator rightly warned that this denial of fundamental distinctions is \u201cdeeply corrosive to science, to public trust and yes, to constitutional protections for women as women,\u201d especially in discussions about pregnancy\u2014a process exclusive to biological females. This exchange exposes the dangerous absurdity of progressive activism, where woke narratives erode women&#8217;s rights and medical integrity, all while pushing unrestricted access to abortion drugs that conservatives argue endanger lives and undermine family values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Republicans continue to defend commonsense protections for the unborn and biological women, such hearings reveal the left&#8217;s commitment to ideological fantasy over factual reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a stunning display of radical gender ideology trumping scientific fact, a Democratic witness at a Senate hearing on abortion pills repeatedly refused to acknowledge that only women can get pregnant, drawing sharp rebukes from Republican senators who championed biological truth and women&#8217;s protections.
