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."

Lol
Women have to make choices that men simply don’t...
She knows that men can’t get pregnant. She’s just brilliant. There are no other words to describe her. Just simply brilliant.
Whatsa matter Sandy? can’t get laid?
That’s a scary thought, that she’s thinking of reproducing. If she does, may her offspring be blessed with more brains than she has.
She should freeze her head, like Ted Williams.
So, men don't have to make choices like, "How am I - on my salary - going to afford paying for my wife's fertility treatments?"
I guess that freezing one's eggs now falls under the heading of "a woman's reproductive rights - for which the State (read: taxpayer) must pay."
Regards,
I’d do her but it would probably result in another Lindsay Graham.
There are so many jokes here, ....orthodontist, waiting to make babies while being pro-abortion, running out the ugly clock....
Heck, for two grand on the right street corner, she could probably buy a baby, with good teeth, and smarter, too. /sarc
If I had teeth like that, and a orthodontist, I would fire him.
The couldn’t get any colder than where they are right now!
This is like the movie Species.
The last think you want to do is let it reproduce.
Put them eggs on the shelf, next to her frozen brain.
Can you freeze a Calabasa Cabeza?
I don’t know if I’d admit that LOL!
Or fire them I should say.
Good idea. She can have kids after the world ends.
Can’t afford it, Sandy...?
Maybe if you spent less on clothes...
Statistically, she will. Regression to the mean...
AOC, stick with what you are good at. Go fix me a sammich.
