Ocasio-Cortez discusses family planning, possibly freezing her eggs (only 10.23 years left)
The Hill ^ | 10/28/20 | Judy Kurtz

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says she's thinking about starting a family and has considered freezing her eggs.

"I’m sitting here, I’m like, Do I freeze my eggs? Can I afford to do that?” the New York Democrat told Vanity Fair with a laugh in a cover story for the magazine's December issue, published Wednesday.

“My orthodontist was telling me about how she was doing IVF, and I’m, like, asking her what her experience is like," Ocasio-Cortez said.

The average cost of in vitro fertilization per cycle is between $12,000 and $17,000, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Freezing eggs can typically cost between $15,000 and $20,000 per cycle, says digital database Fertility IQ.

The 31-year-old lawmaker - the youngest member of Congress - says it's "important" for conversations around family planning to be openly discussed "because women, we have to make these choices that men simply don’t have to make."

I’m sure they will all be raised gender-free.

She already froze her brains, so, why bother.

Just checked. Assisted reproductive technology services may be covered in her health plan. If not, she can likely buy one that covers it since federal bennies are insanely generous.

So WTH are you whining about, Sandy?!

What’s the carbon footprint of frozen eggs?

I thought things like refrigeration and air conditioning contribute to global warming. Imagine the greenhouse gases/electric generation involved in indefinitely preserving this idiots dna so she can produce spawn to destroy future generations. Mind boggling.

She probably never learned about the birds and the bees. You need a man honey.

She should opt for a brain transplant with her money for a larger brain. I’m sure there is a mouse out there willing to contribute his brain to help.

> She knows that men can’t get pregnant.

OH NO! She’s in deep doo-doo!

For years now the Left has been saying that men (that is, trans-men) can get pregnant, too.

AOC is using the real-world correct (scientific) terminology of biological sex, not the politically correct (insane) Woke Gender. She’s in big trouble!!

She may be secretly looking for a real man to do the deed but she doesn’t know any.

“Do I freeze my eggs?”

Now that, at a time when the United States faces very powerful enemies with hideously powerful weaponry, is a concept we really, really need our leaders to be concerning themselves with.

Lol

I was actually thinking that. That’s how insane the world has become :-)

I never really watched South Park but I remember the one gay guy saying he had his first period.

And I forget why but in one episode he said “I’m a girl now so I can have an abortion!”

Who knew the insane would become accepted as the truth

I thought women can bear children AND work at the same time? What is her problem?

“My orthodontist was telling me about how she was doing IVF, and I’m, like, asking her what her experience is like," Ocasio-Cortez said.

So, I'm like, "You can freeze eggs? Like, umm, in an ice cube tray?

Vote for the "New Green Deal" socialist medicine where you can get your teeth fixed and your eggs scrambled in a single visit.

But of course. In AOC’s world, the State must pay for everything.
