She emphasized that women can pursue influential careers while raising families and highlighted examples such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who recently froze her eggs and openly discussed the process. Doescher argued that women like Ocasio-Cortez, Elise Stefanik, and Amy Coney Barrett demonstrate that motherhood and political prominence are compatible. She stressed that women should have the freedom to make their own choices regarding childbirth and criticized the idea that success in politics or careers requires sacrificing motherhood, calling this outlook regressive.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>economics columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/tiana-lowe-doescher\/\">Tiana Lowe Doescher<\/a> pushed back on the idea that women must delay motherhood to achieve professional or political success, arguing that women can pursue influential careers while also raising families. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea that, oh, in order to be a full person, you have to delay motherhood,\u201d Doescher said on CNN\u2019s <em>Group Chat <\/em>Monday. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4680825\/tiana-lowe-doescher-idea-must-delay-motherhood-to-be-full-is-regressive\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Tiana Lowe Doescher: The idea you must delay motherhood to be \u2018full\u2019 is regressive<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4680448\/aoc-freezes-her-eggs-i-think-its-bada\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>AOC freezes her eggs: \u2018I think it\u2019s bada**\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4680428\/aoc-not-ruled-out-possibility-2028-bid\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>AOC says she hasn\u2019t \u2018ruled out the possibility\u2019 of 2028 presidential bid<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doescher made the comments in response to Rep.<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\/\"> Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s<\/a> (D-NY) decision to<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4680448\/aoc-freezes-her-eggs-i-think-its-bada\/\"> freeze her eggs<\/a> and share the process with her followers, telling them she would continue documenting it and inviting them to submit questions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m glad egg freezing exists for women who haven\u2019t found Mr. Right yet, but if you\u2019re 36 &#038; with the same fianc\u00e9 of a decade, just remove the goalie!
