Ocasio-Cortez says she’s freezing her eggs as she decides her next political moves

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced plans to freeze her eggs ahead of the 2028 presidential election campaign. The New York congresswoman, known for her progressive views, shared her decision on Instagram, stating it was a personal choice to feel more in control of her life. Ocasio-Cortez did not explicitly mention plans to have children but acknowledged she is taking a "political risk" in discussing her potential family plans.

She indicated on ABC's "This Week" that she has not ruled out running for president or the Senate seat in 2028. The congresswoman emphasized the need to normalize conversations about women's experiences in their professional and personal lives, particularly in the context of the current administration's opposition to reproductive rights.

Ocasio-Cortez also noted the different standards and scrutiny women face regarding family status compared to men.
