On Wednesday, the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary held a hearing entitled "Revoking Your Rights: The Ongoing Crisis in Abortion Care Access."

The committee held this hearing in light of the long-expected Supreme Court ruling in Jackson Women's Health Center v. Dobbs that could overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey if a leaked draft majority opinion holds.

U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., asked one of the best questions that left an abortion activist temporarily speechless. 

Here's a transcript of his exchange with Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of Avow Texas, a group whose mission is "unapologetic abortion advocacy."
