AOC announces she’s freezing her eggs

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) made a public video announcement over the weekend about a private matter: The congresswoman is freezing her eggs.

Ocasio-Cortez, 36, posted a series of videos on social media in which she said this is a decision she made to “feel more in control of my life.” She said she had been weighing the decision and saving up for the pricey fertility procedure, which often isn’t covered by insurance, for a long time.
