Social media users mocked Planned Parenthood Dr. Bhavik Kumar for arguing that "men can have pregnancies" during Thursday’s House hearing.
Democrats called for a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing to discuss how recent abortion restrictions could harm patients. During the questioning, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., asked Kumar, who works as a Medical Director for Primary and Trans Care, whether a man can get pregnant.
"Men can have pregnancies, especially trans men," Kumar answered.
Clyde asked, "So are you saying that a biological female who identifies as a man and therefore becomes pregnant is, quote, a man? Is that what you’re saying?"
"Somebody with a uterus may have the capability of becoming pregnant, whether they’re a woman or a man," Dr. Kumar responded.
Twitter users attacked Kumar’s wording along with the insistence that men are capable of being pregnant.
"This is now a mainstream position among Democratic politicians. If you think it's crazy, vote Republican this fall," Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted.
