Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Announces Egg Freezing Decision
The 36-year-old New York congresswoman cited a desire for more control over her life, as discussions continue about her potential 2028 presidential bid.
US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed her decision to undergo fertility treatment and freeze her eggs, stating the choice is a step towards feeling “more in control of my life”. The progressive New York representative, aged 36, shared her plans in a series of social media stories over the weekend, indicating she intends to share the process online.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent figure among Democrats, has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration's policies concerning reproductive healthcare. Her personal announcement comes amidst broader political discussions surrounding reproductive rights in the United States.
Beyond her personal healthcare decisions, Ms Ocasio-Cortez is also emerging as a potential frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in the 2028 US presidential election. This speculation has intensified following indications from Senator Bernie Sanders that he is unlikely to seek the presidency again.
While the New York congresswoman has stated her current focus remains on the upcoming midterm elections, she has not dismissed the possibility of a 2028 presidential campaign, noting she “hasn’t ruled out the possibility”. Her public profile and progressive stance position her as a significant voice within the Democratic party.
