AOC says freezing her eggs is ‘bada**’
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced she has started the process of freezing her eggs, sharing the decision on social media to promote openness about women’s health. At 36, she mentioned keeping her personal life private but chose to make this step public after deliberation and saving for the procedure. She livestreamed part of the process, including administering a hormone injection herself, and described it as “bada**,” indicating her pride in taking control of her reproductive choices. Ocasio-Cortez also addressed speculation about her political future, including possible plans for a 2028 presidential bid, which she has not ruled out. She has been an advocate for discussing women’s reproductive issues openly, especially after significant Supreme Court rulings affecting abortion rights, and plans to continue sharing her experience publicly, inviting questions from followers.
