@cspanofficial Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) pressed Dr. Nisha Verman, an obstetrician-gynecologist and fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, during a Senate hearing Wednesday on whether "men can get pregnant." "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. I don't think they serve the American people," she told the senator, who then cut her off. "It is not polarizing to say that there's a scientific difference between men and women. And I want this to be clear and for the record. It is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such," Sen. Hawley said. "Your refusal to recognize women as women and men as men is deeply corrosive — to science, to public trust and yes, to constitutional protections for women as women. And I think it's extraordinary that you would sit here and advance a political agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the American people." #cspan #senate #joshhawley ♬ original sound - C-SPAN
