BREAKING: In Abortion Pill Hearing, Democrats Dismiss Abuse and Basic Biology to Protect Abortion On-Demand
Human lives, public safety, biological truths—no expense is too great in their quest for unlimited abortion.
As the victims of the new Wild West of chemical abortion continue to mount, Democrats and activist "doctors" are clinging to the abortion pill—even if it means denying biological reality and exposing their own hypocrisy.
Case in point: Dr. Nisha Verma, an obstetrician-gynecologist and fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health.
In a lengthy exchange with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Jan. 14, Verma was unable to answer the simplest question about reproductive health.
"Do you think that men can get pregnant?" Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) probed, repeating a question that the doctor had previously failed to answer.
"I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was," Verma replied, adding that she treats people "with different identities."
Hawley, stressing that "the goal is the truth," asked the question again. Once again, Verma hedged.
Biased leftist doctor REFUSES to admit that men cannot get pregnant!

You cannot make this up.
Thank you Sen. @HawleyMO for showcasing the left's utter absurdity! pic.twitter.com/rddndGC8Ez
The doctor was invited by Democrats to speak to the supposed safety of the abortion pill, mifepristone. Throughout the hearing, she claimed that "the science is settled" on the drug's safety, citing decades-old clinical trials while downplaying more recent real-world evidence to the contrary.
As the pair continued their back-and-forth, Verma refused to provide the simple yes-or-no answer Hawley sought. She suggested that he had asked the question only as "a political tool" and to be divisive.
Hawley, pointing to the doctor's repeated references to science, called her out on her blatant disregard for biological realities.
"This is not a hypothetical question," he noted. "This is not theoretical. It affects real people in their real lives, and you're here as an expert."
Ultimately, Verma did not answer the question, and her refusal to do so perfectly encapsulates the absurdity and hypocrisy of abortion defenders.
Pro-Abortion, Anti-Woman
For decades, Democrats have insisted that abortion is "essential health care" and that protecting the procedure's accessibility is about protecting women. Yet when confronted with real-world instances of coerced abortions—on the rise amid the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) deregulation of mifepristone—Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) responded by writing such crimes off as "a longstanding part of human history."
"The truth of the matter is that women have been coerced before mifepristone and they have been coerced since mifepristone. … To say that women shouldn't be able to get this medication through the mail misses the point that abortion bans have created maternal health and reproductive health deserts in this country," Hassan said.
In other words, forced abortions are just a small price to pay to ensure other women can easily kill their babies.
What's worse, Hassan made these comments after Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) shared a very personal story about how his own birth mother was pressured to abort him but chose to put him up for adoption instead.
Powerful remarks from @SenJonHusted on the risks of coerced abortion now that abusers can easily get their hands on abortion pills.

"I fast forward and think about the world we live in today, with drugs like mifepristone, and wonder if it had existed then, would the outcome for me have been different?" Husted said.
The FDA's 2023 revisions to its restrictions on mifepristone included lifting its longstanding requirement that women obtain the drug in person from a doctor or under a doctor's supervision. Without that safeguard, virtually anyone—even abusers—can now order abortion pills online.
A Restoration of America Foundation study also found that mifepristone carries a nearly 11 percent risk of severe side effects, including hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, uterine rupture, or even death. Without proper medical supervision and follow-up, the drug could prove fatal to both mother and child.
Hassan, however, suggested that all these unfortunate truths about abortion pills were just "gaslighting." And Sens. Patty Murray (D-WA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) agreed, suggesting that the GOP-led hearing wasn't about public health and safety but depriving women of their rights.
But for all the Democrats' political posturing, they never once showed even a twinge of regret or sympathy for the growing list of women deprived of their right to keep their babies. Not a single Democratic tear was shed for the thousands of women harmed every year by chemical abortion, which now accounts for nearly two-thirds of all U.S. abortions.
Let the record show that on Jan. 14, Senate Democrats showed the world just how much they really care about women, which is not at all.
