Liberal Doctor Refuses To Answer If Men Can Get Pregnant, Stuns GOP Senator

What began as a Senate Judiciary Committee review of the safety of mifepristone slid into another example that liberals will simply never accept reality: Democrats simply refuse to state plainly what biological sex means, even when the subject is pregnancy and women’s health.

The moment unfolded when Josh Hawley pressed an OB-GYN witness on whether biological men can become pregnant. Rather than answer directly, the witness reframed the exchange around identity, intent, and patient-centered language. The result was not clarity but avoidance, a pattern that has become routine whenever Democratic lawmakers or aligned experts are asked to define sex in concrete terms.

That evasiveness mattered because the hearing was ostensibly about mifepristone’s safety profile and its approved use in pregnancy. Hawley linked the credibility of expert testimony to basic biological premises, arguing that if medicine cannot acknowledge fixed biological realities, it becomes harder to trust reassurances about risk, data, and regulation. The exchange ricocheted across social media within hours, with critics describing it as emblematic of ideology crowding out plain facts in public health debates.

The confrontation did not arise in a vacuum. It followed a growing string of high-profile moments in which Democrats and allied advocates have declined to define sex or the word woman when the stakes are legal, medical, or constitutional. The image circulating from the Supreme Court captures one of the most striking examples: during oral arguments in a case about discrimination against women, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union acknowledged that there was no definition of woman available for the Court. The exchange, involving Samuel Alito, crystallized the tension between sex-based law and gender-identity theory at the nation’s highest tribunal.

That Supreme Court moment has since become shorthand for a broader Democratic predicament. Laws about pregnancy, abortion drugs, equal protection, and sex discrimination all presuppose an answer to who qualifies as a woman. Yet when pressed, Democratic officials and aligned institutions routinely retreat into abstraction, process language, or claims of misunderstanding rather than offering a definition that could be scrutinized or challenged.

The mifepristone hearing exposed the practical consequences of that retreat. Hawley cited research suggesting adverse events from the drug occur at rates far higher than those reflected on the FDA label, arguing that confidence in expert assurances depends on shared biological baselines. The witness’s reluctance to answer a basic question about pregnancy, critics argued, undercut that confidence at precisely the moment when lawmakers were being asked to trust expert judgment over regulatory disputes.

Democrats’ discomfort with definition has also shaped their internal politics. Late last year, party leaders quietly shelved a planned post-2024 election autopsy, a move widely interpreted as an effort to avoid reopening cultural and ideological fights that had alienated swing voters. Party strategists acknowledged, in effect, that debates over gender language and biological reality had become politically radioactive, even as activists continued to demand doctrinal purity.

The party’s base, however, simply will never give it up. They will perpetually be for They/Them, pointed out one historian.

Democrats are still for they/them and open borders. https://t.co/DdQc9qHNxy

Taken together, the episodes form a pattern rather than a series of accidents. From Senate hearings to Supreme Court arguments to party strategy sessions, Democrats have repeatedly chosen evasion over definition on questions of sex. Supporters argue this reflects compassion and inclusivity. Critics counter that it reflects an unwillingness to defend policies on the terrain of reality itself.

For now, the question that keeps resurfacing remains unanswered because, for liberals, it’s simply unanswerable. In debates about abortion drugs, equal protection, and women’s rights, Democrats continue to insist on outcomes while declining to define the category at the center of the law. And each time the question is asked again, their silence and stumbling reveals more about themselves than any other political issue.
