This is the moment obstetrician-gynecologist Dr Nisha Verma refuses to answer whether men are able to get pregnant 12 times when asked by Republican Senator Josh Hawley.

Dr Verma was first probed by Senator Ashley Moody, who asked whether men were able to obtain the pills, to which the doctor responded by suggesting she looks after “people with many identities".
When asked whether men were capable of getting pregnant, Dr Verma said she "was not really sure what the goal of the question is".
