Cecile Richards, former Planned Parenthood president, has died

Richards also was a “fearless champion for abortion access and gender justice to the very end of her extraordinary life,” said National Women’s Law Center President and CEO Fatima Goss Graves.

“Cecile leaves behind a legacy of unshakable determination and a blueprint for how to advocate for the people and causes that need it most,” Graves said in a statement. “She made us better with her rigor, humor, and grace.”
