Cecile Richards, Former Leader of Planned Parenthood, Passes Away at 67

Cecile Richards, who served as the president of Planned Parenthood from 2006 to 2018, has died at the age of 67. During her tenure, Richards was a prominent advocate for reproductive health care and played a crucial role in expanding access to essential services for millions of women across the United States. Under her leadership, Planned Parenthood became a key player in the national conversation surrounding women's rights and health care access.

Richards was known for her unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive health services, including cancer screenings, contraception, and sex education. She also fiercely defended the organization against political attacks and funding cuts, often testifying before Congress to advocate for reproductive rights. Her efforts not only strengthened Planned Parenthood's mission but also inspired a generation of activists to engage in the fight for women's health issues.

Her legacy will continue to influence the ongoing struggle for reproductive rights and access to health care for all individuals.
