Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a crowd of pro-abortion protesters on Friday that she had been raped a decade earlier — and had been grateful to know that if she had become pregnant as a result of that rape, she would have had the choice to abort.
Ocasio-Cortez joined protesters at Union Square just hours after the Supreme Court announced its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned landmark abortion rulings in both Roe v. Wade and Planed Parenthood v. Casey. When some of the women in the crowd began to tell their own “abortion stories,” Ocasio-Cortez jumped in with a story of her own — about a time when she said she had worried she might have to make that choice. “I myself, when I was about 22 or 23 years old, was raped when I was living here in New York City. I was completely alone. In fact, I felt so alone that I had to take a pregnancy test in a public bathroom in midtown Manhattan,” Ocasio-Cortez explained.
“When I sat there waiting for what the result would be, all I could think was: Thank God I have, at least, a choice. Thank God I could, at least, have the freedom to choose my destiny,” she added. “I didn’t know then, as I was waiting, that it would come up negative. But it doesn’t matter … This is for all of us. This is not a women’s rights issue. This is an issue for all of us.”
Ocasio-Cortez has spoken before about being a survivor of sexual assault, saying shortly after the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill that she had been fearful that someone might attack and rape her while protesters were breaching the Capitol building. She later revealed in an Instagram video that she had been previously assaulted. “I’m a survivor of sexual assault. And I haven’t told many people that in my life,” she explained, adding that the stress of watching the rioters and believing that she could be a target had forced her to relive the trauma of that assault. “When we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other.”
Ocasio-Cortez did not give many details regarding the assault at the time, but it appears likely that she may have been talking about the same attack when she spoke to protesters on Friday.
Funny how every liberal feminist was raped at one time or another. Just like how ever hippie was in attendance at Woodstock.
and what idiot would want to rape that fugly idiot?
She needs to make up her mind as to just when it was that she was raped ...
Among the dates she has proclaimed it happened is Jan 6, 2021 ...
maybe she should write it down ??? on her forehead ???
I call BS. She’s been getting her pointers from Joey shit-for-brains on how to lie for fun and profit.
How could she have been raped if she was “completely alone”? I suppose it’s possible if the rapist was a figment of her imagination.
Please. She slept her way to that phony “degree” she got from B.U. Now she claims it was rape????

This b*tch is clearly lying.
Don’t forget when she was crying in front of a chain-link fenced parking lot that she claimed was a detention facility for illegal immigrants.
No one.
So what made her think she was pregnant? Did she miss her period or did she just piss on a stick the day after to bolster her story?
Also did she report to the attack to the police?
#shelies
BS. If you listen to lib women, they’ve all been raped.
That’s their built in excuse for hating men.
Cough up the police report and the ER visit or I don’t believe a word.
Really? You think rapists rape only pretty people? Tell that to the elderly and infirm who are sexually assaulted.
Not that I know anything about the veracity of her alleged ordeal, especially since it makes no sense that she “had to take a pregnancy test in a public bathroom...” She couldn’t do that at home? If she was raped, why didn’t she go to the hospital? They have medication that makes thinking about an abortion unnecessary.
Beer Glasses.
Well then these protesters could make lucrative careers as porn stars since she wasn't in the Capitol building at the time, but was two blocks away in an office building.
Apparently not.
Without a police report and running a rape kit, it didn’t happen. Period.
