When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talks about "normalizing" this, let's normalize the real statistics: -Women 40+ are now having more kids than teenagers for the first time -Stillbirths are 2x higher for 40+ vs 20-year-olds -Miscarriages are 5x higher for 45+ vs 25-year-olds -Down syndrome rates are 12.5x higher for 40+... vs 25-year-olds -Maternal mortality is 4.8x higher for 40+ vs under 25"show more

@AOC People don’t understand how much energy kids take. Energy you have more of in you 20-30s but not so much in 40s and 50s. The biggest regret I had with my kids is not having them sooner. Late 20s would have been better than mid 30s.

@AOC This is just millennial women from New York cope. They don’t “feel” grownup yet even though they’re quickly approaching 40 and haven’t accepted they are going to be childless. I can see it on all my wife’s bravo shows.

@AOC Normalizing more victims is big business for Democrats.

@AOC Hitting the wall hits hard. This should be taught to women in high school so they stop wasting time and settle down while they still have something to offer.

@AOC I was done having my 3 kids in my 20s. Now I'm 53 and have 12 grandchildren that I can still play with. It's a wonderful thing.

@AOC

@AOC Sure it’s riskier. But a lot of this is super misleading. Saying something like “2x the rate for still births” sounds really bad. But that 2x is maybe going from a .25% chance of it happening to .5%. Doubling or tripling very small numbers still makes small numbers.

@AOC Let AOC do this. Let her convince the people who think she is the it girl of politics that this is a great idea. Never stop the opponent when they are making an error.

@AOC As a pregnant 39 year old who will turn 40 before I give birth with my 4th kid…. This Twitter discourse is a bit rude. It’s been going on for weeks. I get it’s not about me but it’s still a bit rude. Every child is a blessing.

@AOC Agreed... talked about this myself today as I go through this very thing...

@AOC Disgusting arguments that shouldn't be made by anyone claiming to be pro-life. Because these are the same arguments people make to justify being pro-choice.

@AOC Two people have to work now to sustain a household. Of course this was going to happen.

@AOC Thought y’all were pro life/family. Wtf?

@AOC

@AOC Biological clocks exist for a reason.

@AOC Why waste your energy on this topic? It literally has zero impact on your life whatsoever. I know it’s just engagement farming but it’s just so silly

@AOC My wife and I made two embryos and plan to use them both god willing they work

@AOC

@AOC

@AOC Pregnancy is ment to happen when it happens, healthy babies are born to older women too, less likely but some of us have been trying for years and sometimes it doesn't happen

@AOC She’ll need a surrogate.

@AOC

@AOC amen- and maybe the worst part is that just when your child reaches the age they need help & guidance - especially financial or hands-on - the most (ages 16-20), then you &/or (if he's still around) your spouse will be on Medicare & Social Securty

@AOC Because it is NOT about healthy FAMILIES

@AOC Feminism has failed

@AOC Teenagers shouldn’t be having kids anyways so I see no issue

@AOC Only job she's good at...

@AOC So your saying were not the most advanced health care system in the planet

@AOC

@AOC

@AOC TELL THE HORSE FACED HUGE TEETH MEXICAN YOU ARE GOING OUT WITH THAT YOU WANNA GET HER PREGNANT STEVE

@AOC Lol yeah teenagers aint having kids because of AOC normalizing egg freezing..

@AOC Geriatric pregnancy starts at 35 years old. After that complications and health risk start to skyrocket for the mother and child. People dont seem to know this.
