U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she will freeze her eggs while deciding her next political moves ahead of the 2028 presidential election. "This is a decision that I'm making to feel like I have more control over my life," Ocasio-Cortez, 36, commented on Instagram regarding her reproductive options.
The congresswoman from New York, a prominent figure in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, did not explicitly state whether she plans to have children. She noted in her social media posts that she was taking a "political risk" by speaking so personally about her potential family plans.

She explained that she wants to normalize conversations about what women face in their professional and personal lives while highlighting policies from the Trump administration.
