At first, she dodged that question from Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), before obfuscating again during follow-ups from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)

“I hesitated there because I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was. I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women,” she told Hawley, skirting around the question.
