A House judiciary hearing in the House of Representatives<\/a> grew tense on Tuesday when Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, pressed an American University scholar in graphic detail on which abortion procedure she would list as her favorite.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s your favorite type of abortion?” Gill asked Jessica Waters, a senior scholar at the American University School of Public Affairs.<\/p>\n

Waters, whose research focuses on “reproductive rights law,” “abortion regulation,” and “state control of reproductive decision-making,” refused to answer.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive healthcare,” Waters said.<\/p>\n

The moment \u2014 and the attention it immediately sparked online \u2014\u00a0highlights the continued priority of the abortion issue among Republican lawmakers<\/a> and conservatives, and came during a hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government.<\/p>\n

Gill leaned into the gruesome picture often left behind by some of the procedures.<\/p>\n

“The first kind is called a \u2018suction abortion,\u2019” Gill said.<\/p>\n

“This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby\u2019s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container. Do you prefer that method?”<\/p>\n

“I stand by my former testimony,” Waters said.<\/p>\n

Viewers on social media<\/a> praised Gill, pointing out his resolve to hold Waters\u2019 feet to the fire despite the terse exchange.<\/p>\n

“This is the conversation Democrats refuse to have. It\u2019s uncomfortable, it\u2019s ugly, but it has to be said,” Nick Craig, a political commentator from North Carolina, said in a post to X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Derrick Evans, a former member of the West Virginia House of Representatives, highlighted the moment in a post of his own.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Watch her squirm as he starts describing some of the abortion methods,” Evans wrote.<\/p>\n

“If you think congressional testimony is useless, just watch this masterclass,” TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said on X.<\/p>\n

“Brilliantly done,” conservative podcast host Matt Walsh wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Despite Waters\u2019 declining to answer his question, Gill continued to list additional abortion procedures.<\/p>\n

“What about this one?” This one is called dilation and curettage. A sharp knife is inserted into the uterus, the baby\u2019s body is cut into pieces and extracted often by suction. Do you prefer that method?” Gill asked.<\/p>\n

Waters tried to divert the question.<\/p>\n

“What I believe we are here to talk about today is the FACE Act,<\/a>” Waters said, referring to a piece of legislation making its way through committee.<\/p>\n

“No, you\u2019re a pro-abortion advocate<\/a> \u2014 I\u2019m asking you if you prefer the dilation and curettage method,” Gill interjected.<\/p>\n

“I am an access to reproductive healthcare advocate.<\/a> I would prefer to talk about the reason the committee called the hearing,” Water said.<\/p>\n

“Is it because it’s uncomfortable? To talk about? It should be uncomfortable,” Gill said. “I wouldn\u2019t want to talk about this either if I were you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
