Katie Miller praises AOC’s egg freezing: ‘We need more babies’

“Good for her for wanting to be a mother and preserving the ability to do so. If she inspires other women to want to become mothers, awesome we need more babies,” Miller wrote on X. Her comments come as Ocasio-Cortez revealed Saturday that she has started freezing her eggs, opening up to followers on social media as part of a broader effort to destigmatize conversations around women’s health. Ocasio-Cortez called her decision “bada**,” and said she plans to continue documenting the egg-freezing process publicly, inviting followers to submit questions along the way.
