Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Saturday in Instagram Story videos that she has begun the process of freezing her eggs and plans to document the fertility treatment publicly. The 36-year-old congresswoman said she had taken time to consider and save for the procedure, which she described as a way to have more control over her future.

In a TV interview Sunday, she said she has not ruled out running for president.
