Al Mohler blasts here the jaw-dropping insanity demonstrated in a recent senate hearing, insanity that I also talked about earlier here.

The exchange unfolded over minutes, but the event signals nothing less than the fall of a great civilization. Dr. Verma is a physician, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, and an adjunct associate professor at Emory University. She is also a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a practicing physician. She is also an abortionist, working with Planned Parenthood, and she appeared before the Senate committee as a fellow of Physicians for Reproductive Health, which is straightforwardly pro-abortion. 

Dr. Verma was determined not to answer Sen. Hawley’s question, which could easily have been answered by a first-grader . . . We do need to take notice of one interesting dimension to the physician’s gynecological and moral insanity: She did not have the courage to come out and answer Sen. Hawley’s question directly. If Dr. Verma is so committed to the new gender ideologies that she would make herself look like an absolute idiot before a national audience, why didn’t she just come out and answer Sen. Hawley directly by saying, “Yes, Senator, men can get pregnant.”

The answer is simple and important. The gender ideologies are absolute insanity, and even those who push them know it. Thus, the doctor made herself appear clueless about basic biology because she is committed to a radical worldview, driven by personal autonomy, individual liberation, and identity politics—and now by the cowardly corruption of the medical profession . . . The Senate hearing yesterday should serve as an alarm that we are now reaching terminal cultural insanity. We now have some of the nation’s smartest people saying some of the stupidest things ever spoken.
