The long-term president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, has died aged 67.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> on Monday, Richards family confirmed that she had died at home from an aggressive form of brain cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning our beloved Cecile passed away at home, surrounded by her family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201dOur hearts are broken today but no words can do justice to the joy she brought to our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added that they were \u201cgrateful to the doctors and health care workers who provided her excellent care and the friends, family, and well-wishers who have been by her side during this challenging time.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her 12 years at the helm of Planned Parenthood, Richards oversaw the performance of millions of abortions, solidifying the organisation as the largest abortion provider in the United States.<\/p>\n

She fought against pro-life efforts to protect the unborn, lobbying for expanded access to abortion up until the moment of birth and opposing legislation such as partial-birth abortion bans.<\/p>\n

As a result of her efforts, millions of babies who were denied the opportunity of life.<\/p>\n

Under her leadership, Planned Parenthood\u2019s reputation was also tarnished by scandals<\/a>, including allegations of selling foetal body parts for profit, which sparked national outrage and congressional investigations.<\/p>\n

Her interest in abortion was partially the result of having had one herself, which she said at the time was an easy decision for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had an abortion,\u201d Richards wrote back<\/a> in 2014. \u201cIt was the right decision for me and my husband, and it wasn\u2019t a difficult decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in November, Joe Biden awarded Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation\u2019s highest civilian honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cA leader of utmost character, she has carved an inspiring legacy that endures in her incredible family, the countless lives she has made better, and a Nation seeking the light of equality, justice, and freedom,\u201d Biden declared at the time.<\/p>\n

Now she is gone, may Cecile Richards face her creator and be judged accordingly.<\/p>\n
