The Real Reason Women Freeze Their Eggs

When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently announced her decision to freeze her eggs, she said she was “empowered.”

“This is a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life,” the 36-year-old Democrat said in a social media video. “If people want to make assumptions about my decision, let them make those assumptions. I feel empowered to make this choice.”

But Ocasio-Cortez’s rah-rah rhetoric can’t disguise the bleak reality of why some women freeze their eggs.

Ocasio-Cortez, who has been engaged since 2022, was mum about any personal reasons or timing factors related to her decision. (The New York congresswoman did suggest in a TV interview Sunday that she was open to running for the presidency or Senate, which could certainly affect her workload.)

But according to one researcher, clear patterns emerge when you look at why women decide to freeze their eggs. And no, it’s not because they are all trying to “girl boss” their way to the corner office and don’t want to risk the distraction of babies.

Yale University professor Marcia Inhorn, who focuses on anthropology and international affairs, conducted a study of 114 women who chose to freeze their eggs for her 2023 book “Motherhood on Ice: The Mating Gap and Why Women Freeze Their Eggs.”
