WATCH: Hawley Taken to Task for Transphobic Questioning on Abortion Rights – https://www.huffpost.com/entry/professor-schools-sen-josh-hawley-for-his-transphobic-questions-in-abortion-hearing_n_62cda22de4b02e0ac91a484f?utm_source=pocket_mylist

“A University of California, Berkeley School of Law professor called out Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.) for a transphobic line of questioning that denied the existence of trans and nonbinary people.

Khiara M. Bridges was one of five expert panelists to testify in a hearing about the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that protected the right to abortion.

Bridges, whose work focuses on civil rights, reproductive rights and constitutional law, sparred with Hawley when he attempted to mock her for using the phrase “people with the capacity for pregnancy.”

(Watch the full interaction in the video above.)

After the professor explained that cisgender women are not the only people who can become pregnant, Hawley continued to pick at Bridges for her word choice, asking: “So this isn’t really a women’s rights issue?””
