#Cecile #Richards, the former president of #Planned #Parenthood and feminist activist,
died Monday of an aggressive brain cancer, her family confirmed in a statement.
She was 67.
Richards, the daughter of the former Democratic Texas governor, was one of the nation’s most prominent advocates for abortion rights.
Even after her 2023 glioblastoma diagnosis, Richards had remained a fixture in Democratic politics.
In August, she helped cast Texas’ ceremonial votes at the Democratic National Convention to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris,
and delivered one of the event’s speeches focused on reproductive rights.
