Nominee Refuses to Define "Woman"

 Nominee Refuses to Define "Woman"

Father, we pray that You would raise up leaders in our country who recognize and respect biology. You made us unchangeably male and female, God, and we pray that our country would come to realize that.

At such a crucial time in our country when anti-biblical views of gender are on the rise, the last thing we need is a Supreme Court judge who will deny the most basic principles of biology.

From Fox News. President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson refused to define the word “woman” on the second day of her confirmation hearings before the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee.


Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., pressed Jackson on transgender issues Tuesday night….

“Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’” the senator asked.

“Can I provide a definition? No,” Jackson responded. “I can’t.”

“You can’t?” Blackburn asked.

“Not in this context, I’m not a biologist,” the judge replied.

 

“Do you believe the meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?” Blackburn pressed.

“Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there’s a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide,” Jackson said.

Blackburn argued that “the fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about….”

Dictionary.com defines “woman” as “an adult female person,” and classifies the word as an “Elementary level” word to define….

Abigail Shrier, author of the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” noted that Jackson is ” celebrated for being a pathbreaking woman…but she can’t (won’t) tell you what a woman is. Not a good sign for someone who wishes to be in a position to determine the rights American women will get to keep.”

How are you praying about this confirmation?
