Cecile Richards passed away today from brain cancer. She was 67 years old and a warrior to the end 💐

She was a labor organizer at Brown University, worked on her mom’s (Ann Richards) gubernatorial election, chief of staff for Nancy Pelosi, President of Planned Parenthood and abortion rights activist to the very end. President Biden awarded her the Medal of Freedom in November, 2024. Rest in Power as we honor you and continue the good fight, Dear Cecile. 🌺

They thought she was Satan's minion, fighting to "murder babies" the way she did. They indoctrinated their kids with religious brainwashing early on, even supporting their March for Life trips to Washington D.C., and other such public displays of piety like cosplaying as Roman soldiers and Jesus in front of the downtown cathedral.
