Senate Hearing on Abortion Pill Safety Features Repeated Question on Male Pregnancy

During a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on abortion pill safety, Senator Josh Hawley repeatedly questioned Dr. Nisha Verma, an obstetrician-gynecologist, about whether men can become pregnant. The hearing focused on the regulation of medication abortion using mifepristone and concerns about its safe use. Dr. Verma, who provides reproductive healthcare in Georgia and Massachusetts, did not directly answer the question, and the exchange gained widespread attention on social media.
