In Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “A Post-Roe America,” Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley made waves in the media when he asked a Democratic witness who repeatedly used the phrase “people with the capacity for pregnancy” whether she meant “women.”
UC Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges responded by calling Hawley’s line of questioning “transphobic” and said it incited violence against people who identify as transgender. But despite the media attention, this wasn’t the most eye-opening moment in the hearing. In fact, even more revealing than the questions the witnesses did answer were the ones they didn’t, which also happened to be the ones Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn asked right after CBS cut off its online coverage.
When Cornyn asked Bridges whether she thought a baby delivered alive had value, she paused and answered “yes.” He then asked the same question about a baby that is not yet born.
“I believe that a person with the capacity for pregnancy has value,” Bridges said. “They have intelligence, they have agency, they have dignity—”
“No, I’m talking about the baby,” Cornyn said.
“And I’m talking about the person with the capacity for pregnancy,” Bridges replied.
When Cornyn said she wasn’t answering his question, she replied, “I’m answering a more interesting question to me.”
Cornyn repeated his question, and Bridges essentially repeated her answer, refusing to say whether she thought a baby has value in the womb.
Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, another Democrat witness, similarly dodged Cornyn’s question about whether she supported abortion for any reason at any point during pregnancy. Stratton said — and then sternly repeated — that she thinks everyone has the right to make decisions about “what’s best for their life, their body, and their future” but refused to answer the question….

Your diversity hires in action folks. Leading Law Professor at a once prestigous university.
She is teaching your children (not mine, too white and too male),
This type of diversity hire is now making its way in to STEM. Imagine bridges designed by this diversity hire? Or, SW controlling aircraft designed by “khiara” of the world. Can anyone see her on the Apollo program helping get those men home Mission 13?
Look at that cow ring in her nose. Listen to the nonsense coming out of her mouth. Diversity and equity hiring practices lead to a decline in employee quality.
And now one of them is on the Supreme Court: Ketanji.
She might be smart, even brilliant, but commitment to a morally deficient ideology has forced her into stupidity. Let us pray she regains her dignity and intellectual prowess by the embrace of virtue.
This woman is not intelligent at all– she is not even close to the intelligence of SCOTUS Judge Clarence Thonas, or Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She is a cunning, smart-aleck, deviant, anti-society, anti-Christian, white-hating social activist. And that’s all. Intelligent young people have the gift to understand their field, and work to excell in it and serve the Nation, becoming true leaders.
The democrat party is her church, Biden and Pelosi are the ministers, marxism and communism is their mantra, abortion, transgenderism, and lgbtq are their sacraments. How can you expect a straight and logical answer?
Despicable.
There is an article today, July 26, in USSA News, by Steven Yates, entitled: “The Intellectual Suicide of Academia and Corporate Media.” It is about the Khiara Bridges incident. You can find it online at ussanews.com.
