Описание: A US Senate hearing on chemical abortion drugs turned heated after Republican Senator Josh Hawley clashed with Indian-origin physician Dr Nisha Verma over a question on biological sex.

The hearing, titled “Protecting Women: Exposing the Dangers of Chemical Abortion Drugs,” focused on mifepristone, a prescription abortion pill approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2019. Tensions escalated when Hawley repeatedly asked Verma, “Can men get pregnant?” Verma declined to answer directly, saying she was unsure of the purpose of the question.

Hawley responded that the question was meant to establish “biological reality,” noting Verma’s earlier assertion that science, not politics, should guide the debate.

Verma said she treats patients with diverse identities and argued that “polarised language” does not reflect the complexities of patient care. Closing the exchange, Hawley said, “For the record, it’s women who get pregnant, not men,” adding that the hearing focused on women’s safety and evidence linking the drug to adverse health outcomes.
