Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced her decision to freeze her eggs while she considers her political future, potentially including a presidential bid in 2028. In an Instagram post, the New York congresswoman stated that this choice allows her to feel more in control of her life, without explicitly confirming whether she plans to start a family. While discussing her personal decisions, Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the challenges women face in balancing their professional and personal lives, particularly within the current political climate that restricts reproductive rights. Notably, the Trump administration's stance on abortion rights has been controversial, with the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. However, it is worth noting that Trump also signed an executive order in 2025 to lower the costs of in vitro fertilization. In her political aspirations, Ocasio-Cortez has expressed concerns about the implications of family status on women in politics and other professions, stating that men are not subjected to similar scrutiny regarding their plans for starting a family.
