Conservative critics jumped on California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his confusing messaging on who can get pregnant.
In sharing a clip of him speaking out against the leaked draft opinion showing the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, Newsom declared: “If men could get pregnant, this wouldn’t even be a conversation. This decision isn’t about strengthening families - it’s about extremism. It’s about control. We will fight for the right to choose.”
Conservatives—confused, given that progressives have been telling us otherwise lately—had quite a few responses.
Governor Transphobe https://t.co/I23uYGYYim

It must be incredibly exhausting to be required to constantly remember which men can and which men can’t get pregnant. https://t.co/LG55A6vJDn

Lazy (and overused) talking point aside, it was just a few months ago when Democrats claimed it’s not just women who can get pregnant. https://t.co/96tcPLZC84

Gavin just admitted he’s either transphobic or that men can’t get pregnant. ?? These clowns are insane https://t.co/qqBdA06ayA

Ummm. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but men have periods and men can get pregnant. I didn’t make the rules, I’m just reminding you of your own. https://t.co/KciM9omRsH

In addition to pregnant men emojis, progressives have been busy changing the language to erase women from the picture. Instead, the left now calls them "birthing people" or "pregnant people" who are capable of "chestfeeding." As Spencer reported, many Democrats have suddenly rediscovered what a woman is after the SCOTUS leak.
