Josh Hawley, R-Mo., used his questioning time to ask whether, when Bridges used the terminology \u201cpeople with the capacity for pregnancy,\u201d she meant \u201cwomen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany women, cis women have the capacity for pregnancy, many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy as well as nonbinary people who are capable of pregnancy,\u201d Bridges replied.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"R320LWzwVdvFIDyg\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hawley: Why are you using the term &#8220;person with a capacity for pregnancy&#8221; instead of &#8220;woman?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bridges: &#8220;Your line of questioning is transphobic and opens trans people to violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hawley: &#8220;You&#8217;re saying I&#8217;m opening up people to violence by saying women can have pregnancies?&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yi46NlQCr0\">pic.twitter.com\/Yi46NlQCr0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Price (@greg_price11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greg_price11\/status\/1546891926997188608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p> \u201cSo this [abortion] isn\u2019t really a women\u2019s rights issue\u2026?\u201d Hawley asked. Unable to directly answer the senator\u2019s question without either invalidating women or the trans agenda, Bridges said women and \u201cother groups\u201d were not \u201cmutually exclusive\u201d before she pivoted and accused him of introducing violence by inquiring about her logic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic,\u201d Bridges said. \u201cIt opens up trans people to violence by not recognizing them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, you\u2019re saying that I\u2019m opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies?\u201d Hawley replied.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges continued to dodge Hawley\u2019s questions by bringing up an arbitrary statistic on trans suicide rates, implying that any questions or discussion about whether men can bear children directly contribute to those suicides.<\/p>\n<p>Finally and without ever directly answering the original question, a visibly heated Bridges asked Hawley if he believes that men can get pregnant, and accused him of \u201cdenying that trans people exist\u201d when he replied no. She then condescendingly invited him to join her classroom at Berkeley.<\/p>\n<p>The verbal gymnastics Bridges performed in order to deflect an honest discussion about her beliefs, while replying to Hawley with accusations and condescension, show the \u201chighly educated\u201d left\u2019s inability to answer basic questions about their anti-science dogma. The exchange is reminiscent of then-Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/23\/judge-nominated-to-supreme-court-on-the-basis-of-her-sex-cant-define-woman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">telling<\/a> Sen. Marsha Blackburn she couldn\u2019t define what a woman is. Neither Jackson nor Bridges was able to hide that the left\u2019s views on abortion are not even about \u201cwomen\u201d at all, because they cannot even say the word.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Elise McCue is an intern at The Federalist and student majoring in multimedia journalism and professional and technical writing.
