Now men can also get pregnant! Female doctor gave surprising answer to senator’s question, watch video

America During an official hearing in the Senate, a question arose which has sparked debate all over the world. An American senator asked a direct question to a doctor of Indian origin – “Can men get pregnant?” This question was not only medical but also related to gender, biology and social debate. The video clip of the hearing quickly went viral on social media, where some people are calling it a victory of scientific facts while others are considering it a part of political rhetoric.

The doctor’s answer was brief, but it clearly drew the line between biological truth and modern debate. This is the reason why this matter has now become a topic of discussion across the world beyond America.

In fact, an Indian-American obstetrician and gynecologist who appeared before the US Senate refused to give a direct answer to the question whether men can get pregnant, after which a heated debate broke out on gender and biology. The confrontation occurred during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing titled ‘Women’s Safety: Exposing the Dangers of Chemical Abortion Drugs’ at the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Dr. Nisha Verma had attended the hearing as a Democratic witness.

Dr. Nisha Verma hesitated a bit in answering the senator’s question. She then replied that she treats patients of different gender identities. “I take care of people who don’t identify as women,” she said. He did not give a direct answer in yes or no.

While Senator Josh Hawley repeatedly pressed him for a straight answer. Also said that this question is based on biology rather than politics. “The goal is to establish a biological truth. It’s about science and evidence,” he said. He further said that he is investigating his credibility as a medical professional.

Don’t make questions a political weapon – Verma

Verma hit back at Senate Hawley’s argument, saying that presenting the issue as a yes-or-no question oversimplifies the realities of patients. “Science and evidence should guide medicine,” he said. Called such questions as ‘political weapons’ which ignore complexity.

Women get pregnant, not men

The senator then rejected Dr. Nisha’s argument and said for the record that “women get pregnant, not men.” He accused Verma of refusing to accept what he was calling basic biological facts. She questioned that if she could not accept that biological men cannot get pregnant, then how could her testimony be taken seriously.

Abortion medicines harmful in 11 percent cases

Hawley also claimed that abortion drugs harm health in 11 percent of cases. This figure is much higher than that stated on the FDA label. She argued that this hearing was about women’s safety.

It is difficult to reach the goal with such questions

Dr. Verma defended her stance and reiterated that she was working on the basis of science. She was also putting forward the experiences of her patients. She said, “I believe in science, and I am here to present the complex experiences of my patients. I do not think polarizing language or questions will accomplish that goal.”

threat to public trust

Senator Hawley described the refusal to answer questions directly as damaging to science, public trust and legal protections for women. He concluded, “It is absolutely correct to say that women are a biological fact and should be treated and protected as such. Your refusal to recognize men as men and women as women is deeply damaging to science, to public trust, and to constitutional protections for women.”

In February last year, a similar confrontation took place when Josh Hawley confronted Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a US Senate hearing, forcing Zuckerberg to apologize to parents of children affected by social media.

Who is Dr. Nisha Verma?

Dr. Nisha Verma is a reproductive health consultant and a senior personality associated with Physicians for Reproductive Health. In his inaugural speech, he defended medical abortion. He told MPs that these medicines have been extensively researched for decades and have been prescribed safely. Dr Verma argued that politically motivated restrictions were harming patients.

7.5M people used abortion pills

“Medication abortion has been extensively studied and has been proven to be safe and effective in more than 100 high-quality peer-reviewed studies,” Verma said. He further said that since their approval in 2000, more than 7.5 million people in America have used abortion pills.
