On Thursday, The Washington Times<\/a> posted an article about a recent statement by Dr. Bhavik Kumar<\/a>, medical director for primary and trans care at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. At a House committee hearing on abortion restrictions, \u201cExamining the Harm to Patients from Abortion Restrictions and the Threat of a National Abortion Ban,\u201d the Doctor was asked if men could become pregnant.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Dr. Bhavik Kumar<\/a>, medical director for primary and trans care at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, replied in the affirmative<\/a> after being asked by Rep. Andrew Clyde<\/a>, Georgia Republican, if men could become pregnant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo men can have pregnancies, especially trans men,\u201d Dr. Kumar<\/a> told the House Oversight and Reform Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The doctor did not elaborate on which cisgender men could become pregnant or how.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Clyde<\/a> sought clarification, asking, \u201cSo are you saying that a biological female who identifies as a man and therefore becomes pregnant is, quote, a man? Is that what you\u2019re saying?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Kumar<\/a> pushed back, telling him<\/a> such questions are \u201creally missing the point\u201d at a hearing about abortion, before affirming his<\/a> response.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody with a uterus may have the capability of becoming pregnant, whether they\u2019re a woman or a man,\u201d Dr. Kumar<\/a> said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Clyde<\/a> was unpersuaded. \u201cOK, we\u2019re done. We\u2019re done. This isn\u2019t complicated. Let me tell you, if a person has a uterus and is born female, they are a woman,\u201d he<\/a> said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats have struggled with how to define men and women as the transgender rights movement seeks to redefine gender based on self-identification, leading to memorable comments at hearings such as then-Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson declaring<\/a> in March that \u201cI\u2019m not a biologist.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Clyde<\/a>, an Iraq and Kuwait combat veteran who owns a firearms business, proceeded to give a biology lesson to Dr. Kumar<\/a>, a board-certified family medicine physician.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not a man, and the vast majority of the world considers that to be a woman because there are biological differences between men and women,\u201d Mr. Clyde<\/a> said. \u201cI mean, clearly, any high school biology class teaches that men and women have different chromosomes. Females are XX chromosome and males are XY chromosome. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s necessary to say this, but men cannot get pregnant and cannot give birth regardless of how they identify themselves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does an abortion organization need a medical director for primary and trans care? Has planned parenthood branched out?<\/p>\n

The party that constantly yells ‘follow the science’ needs to read a basic biology textbook.<\/p>\n
