WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) took to Instagram Live this weekend to kick off her biological egg-freezing process several months ahead of schedule by swallowing three entire five-pound bags of gas station ice cubes.
The two-hour broadcast was launched shortly after news broke that the Congresswoman was considering freezing her eggs to keep her political options open for 2028.
“Taking control of my reproductive future is, like, totally badass,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a livestream to her millions of followers, while crunching down on a handful of bagged ice. “Why wait? If I’m going to freeze my eggs anyway, I figured I could start the process myself.”
AOC then announced that she was considering additional measures to ensure the eggs remained sufficiently frozen, including sleeping inside a walk-in freezer, replacing her morning coffee with a Slurpee, and spending several hours each day standing directly in front of an air conditioner.
At press time, AOC was reportedly preparing to begin Phase Two of her egg-freezing strategy by sitting in a bathtub filled with ice while livestreaming the experience to her followers.
