Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is talking about her IUD — and she doesn’t care if it makes men feel uncomfortable.
The progressive firebrand disclosed her preferred birth control method during the House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on Thursday about the impact of new GOP restrictions on women’s right to choose.
“Since Republicans are forcing this conversation in uncomfortable ways, then I will meet them to it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I have an IUD. I’ve had one for years.”
Ocasio-Cortez was seeking to shed light on the possibility of pregnant women being denied critical medical care due to new laws banning abortion care in red states.
“Would (you) have to wait until I was in the process … of actively dying before you could effectively treat me?” Ocasio-Cortez asked a doctor who was a witness at the hearing chaired by Rep. Carolyn Maloney. (D-N.Y.).
She called abortion rights a “profound economic issue” for women, saying that only men could neglect to consider the life-changing impact that being forced to go ahead with an unwanted pregnancy could have.
To not consider the financial implications of a woman’s right to choose “is certainly something that’s (a perspective of) someone who’s never had to contend with having a child,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
The second-term lawmaker representing parts of Queens and the Bronx further explained the devastating toll the lack of choice has on women.
“When the powerful force people to give birth against their will, they trap millions into cycles of economic setback and desperation,” she said. “Especially in a country without guaranteed healthcare.”

Since the Supreme Court ruled in June to nullify the constitutional right to an abortion, GOP candidates in battleground districts and states have tried to play down the issue while Democrats nationwide have made it a central part of their bid to retain control of Congress. Republicans still say the November elections will be fought on a political terrain focused on the economy and Biden’s standing with the public, although Democrats believe their voters, fueled by anger over abortion, are far more motivated to cast a ballot this fall.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who recently proposed a federal ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, has repeatedly argued that his plan is good politics for Republicans and that his party should tell the public that Democrats support few, if any, restrictions on access to the procedure.

This woman is beyond mental—she could try the patience and skills of any competent psychiatrist.
“Since Republicans are forcing this conversation in uncomfortable ways, then I will meet them to it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I have an IUD. I’ve had one for years.” TMI—and who gives a damn? You were able to make your own choice, right?
MAYBE IF folks knew UNCLE Govt, wasn’t there to BE A “Safety net trapping them in poverty”, they would think twice, about GETTING pregnant in the first place!!
IUD’s are know to sterilize the user. That’s a win for us.
Wonder if she’s ever gotten a guy drunk enough to actually bed her to see if her IUD really works. Unlikely.
I applaud AOC. If there is anyone who needs to use birth control, it’s her!
Her face, attitude and personality ARE Her birth control!
“impact of new GOP restrictions on women’s right to choose” (to murder their unborn baby).
“To not consider the financial implications of a woman’s right to choose “is certainly something that’s (a perspective of) someone who’s never had to contend with having a child,” Ocasio-Cortez said.”
“Contend with having a child”?? Huh??
#1. Having a baby is a blessing from God.
#2. Women get pregnant by their own actions.
#3. If a woman is going to have sex and doesn’t want to get pregnant get a IUD or another birth control.
#4. What right does a woman have to murder her unborn baby, because of her irresponsible actions?
#5. This is the character of the disgraceful, immoral Democrats – Never taking responsibility for their own actions!
AOC either has no idea of what our Constitution actually says or she just thinks that the constitutional limits on the government are meaningless. Unfortunately, this also applies to many others of our legislators (regardless of party).
Democrats see everything as subjective, how they feel things should be
(not as they are) their whole world is subjective. Not Objective.
To the ruling Democrat Party cult and their disciples, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant, if the Democrats do not WANT to believe them or they disagree with them.
Democrats will just make up their own, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
I would ask those in her District, exactly what has this imbecile done to make life better for you for all she ever does is “Toot her own Horn” like some narcissistic Nobody and talks a lot BUT no real Action.
She is definitely staying on brand with her own style of cluelessness. She is saying that no man has ever had to be financially responsible for a child he did not plan or want. She has never heard of child support. Personally, I believe that a man who resents paying to raise his own child is not a real man, but to pretend that the situation has never and can never occur is very on point for AOC.
She is proof that we need IQ tests for those who run for office. The House should be meeting in the Capitol, not from their basements. If she doesn’t want to show up for work then stop paying her.
AND IQ tests for voters!
Democrats can’t even define what a woman is. Men can’t not get Pregnant . Thank God for that.
IF men could you just KNOW< women would WHINE saying "WE are taking that away from them", or some other such bull..
“A woman’s right to choose”
This is NOT about a woman’s right to choose. It’s about a woman’s eternal right to change her mind after she made a choice.
Reminds me of a cartoon in Playboy (remember that rag?) back in the mid 60’s. A representative from Planned Parenthood is standing before a group of Neanderthal women.
One of the women says: “Prevent pregnancy? We don’t even know what causes it!”
Bhavik is an absolute, total Arschloch and dic*head.
Her birthing person should have used the IUD
Men can not have babies or have a periodor breast feed. AOC is a very stupid person. Uneducated subcreature who is a waste of oxygen. People who voted her in are just plain stupid. Democrats and doctors who think men can have babies and women have the right to murder babies need deported off the earth. A bunch of sick brain dead fools. Enough of this ****.
To me, her preferred birth control method would simply be her talking. Her voice is so annoying that I would lose an erection.
I also say that being AOC is enough birth control to stop any chance of pregnancy or sex
I am so happy that this POS human waste of flesh ISN’T PROCREATING! Abortion should be the exception to the rule only in certain cases! Those who use it as a birth control means should be charged with murder! In today’s day and age there should NOT be any “accidental” pregnancies!
Hey there Another Odd Creature
1.Men cannot get pregnant
2. Abortion IS NOT health care
3. The world is not flat
Does the people in AOC’s district get a kick out of see the rest of America suffer with her ignorance and insanity? Just wondering since they must have some reason, other than intellect, for keeping her in office.
They are likely just as evil and brainless as she is.
AOC is fundamentally an actress; a well-compensated shill hired and funded by Soros to disrupt and corrupt the American model of Democracy. No morals, narcissistic, telegenic, and well-coached by Marxist handlers, she should never be trusted.
I got an idea since she thinks “men” can have babies. Let her future husband have the first one. He will have to have a c-section though. As males don’t have a birthing channel.
I am so relieved she has no intention of breeding. Not that anyone would want to with her.
