What Is A Woman? The National Women’s Law Center Can’t Answer

Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center, was ironically unable to define the word “woman” during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing held Wednesday.

The hearing was aimed at discussing abortion and the legal consequence of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the landmark case Roe v. Wade, effectively kicking back abortion restrictions to the state.

“I am a woman, that is how I identify,” Graves deflected, when asked by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) to define the term “woman.”

The NWLC leader then went on to assert that people other than women can get pregnant and that the representative’s question is silly because it undermines this apparent reality.
